Will a 14.50 in Tire fit on a 9 inch wide wheel. Very curious.

 

Absolutely! Nothing to worry about! Just watch the back spacing for the rubbing....

Post up the pictures!

 

I ran 8in wide rims on 14.50's on my CJ, never a prob.

 

So 13.5s on a 8" rim should be fine? I've been really eyeing up 345/75R16 KM2s.

And you're saying 14.5s on an 8" rim will work without popping beads all the time even though they recommend to run 10" wheels?

Would both the 13.5 and 14.5 tires fit on my 16x8s with 4" of backspace??

 

You won't be popping beads... the concern of running a narrower wheel with a wider tire is long term tread wear and airing down for a wider foot print. The 14.5 is on the wide side....but it would not stop me from running them. The 345/75R16KM2's are good to go! Even the 14.5 with the taller profile gives you the sidewall height that keeps the width from being an issue....

 

Sounds good to me...I think the 345s are more realistic considering I plan to run my 30 until i destroy it.

 

I was running these KM2s on 16x8 Enduros but had problems with balancing them on 8" rim- so I went to 16x10 s and had fewer problems with balancing/vibrations. I also think they look much better on a 10" wide rim. I f I remember correctly BFG specs these tires on a min 9.5 wide rim.

 

So...anybody got any pics of these?
