Suggested wheel width for 285/65/18 bfg?
I'm new to this site and wanted to get some oppinions on new wheels for my 04 fx4. I currently have brand new 285/65/18 bfg a/t's on my factory fx4 rims (7.5" i belive) and would like something a bit wider. BFG's website suggests an 8-10" wide rim for these particular tires, but 10 seems way to wide for an approx. 11.5" tire and 8's are too close to factory. Would u all suggest 9's? Any suggestion on a particular style of wheel? Thanks.
I have been looking at Eagle Alloy 186's-they are a 9" rim with 5"'s of back spacing. Great looking rim-kind of a Mickey Thompson Classic II knock off.

My truck is completly stock. It doesn't have a leveling ket or anything on it yet and it doesn't rub at all in any way even at full lock. Looks much tougher than the factory tires and does great in the mud.
