mounting 265/70 on 9" rim HELP!!!

i have bgf a/t 265/70/17 and want to mount them on kmc enduros which are a 9 inch width.

a lot of poeple say to not do this because it is not safe.

-well the bfg 265/70 i have is 10.43". so why wouldnt this fit on a 9" rim?
-isn't the tire still going to be wider than the rim?

the TRD Sport Alloy Wheels are 17x7.5, with a 10.43" tire (and it makes my tires look like the sidewalls are fat / bulge)


Check this out and tell me what you think.

so i want to mount a 265/70 (10.43" wide tire) on a 9" kmc enduro
(i put BFG's specs at the bottom. what does 1/2" more than the recommended width matter?)

KPT did it and it looked good. I say go for it... just don't air down too low.

edit: I think you'll be fine. Talk to your local shop and see what he says.

 

I also have a 265/70-17 on a 9" wheel. Looks fine and no problems. Check out my pics if you'd like.

 

Thank you. However, I chose tires that are approved for 9" rims in the 265 width. Not all brands and sizes are. You have to check the tire manufactures website.
