Default KM2 255/80/17's

Hey guys I currently have Falken Rocky Mountain's 285/70/17's on Black Rock 17x8 wheels. I'm wanting to swith to KM2 255/80/17's and was wondering if it would look odd with my rim size being 8" wide. I ask because on Tire Rack the rim width range is 6.5-8.5 and the measured rim width is 7". Would the time be pushing out too far and the tire look odd? Is there anyone on there that has 8" wide wheels and running that size of the KM2's? Pics and feed back would be greatly appreciated.

Default re:

Hows your availability on those tires. Up here in Canada land, all the tire shops here are getting a red screen when they do a search for them, nothing left.......
