depends on the back spacing but I would say no just due to the 9 inches wide

another vote for black.

For 265/75, go for 8-inches wide. But there is going to be a lot of cutting.

Go with the black! But, put any white letters inside instead of out like mine.

You'd be much better off with a 7" rim with 265/75's over a 8" rim.

Is there still a lot of cutting with 7 inches and spacers???

Yes.

A 16x8 black steel rim has 5" of BS,the 17x7 rim has 4" of BS,thus both will stick ou past the fender flare the exact same amount,adding spacers will be like running 3" or less of BS which is a big rubbing problem on a KJ.
