Tire/Rim question

Can't find a definitive answer online.

Can I mount my BFG KO2s 265/65r17 on 17x9 M/T classic 3s?

 

Tire rack specifications attached. Says 7.5-9.5" rim width.

 

Yes. I did the 265x70x17. A little taller side wall gives you a higher ride height too

 

That is weird. Tire Rack says a 265/70/17 BFG KO2 supports a wheel width of 7-8.5" wide.

Why does a 265/65/16 say 7.5" and up?

 

If I were you I would opt for the load range C 265/70/17 rather than the E rated.

 

That's what I did as well the e rated tires are supposed to give a stiffer ride from what the tire shop told me. The c rated tires are stiffer than stock but it still rides nice

 

E rated is really rough. That load range is just not what a light truck like ours needs.

Realistically the C rated KO2 should ride close to stock. I really didn't notice a huge difference between the stock TRD OR tires to the KO2's. I actually think they ride nicer IMO.
