Help with Wheel Width

Rim width
I was on the 4 wheel parts.com website looking at ordering my new wheels. I was looking at the Pro Comp Extreme Alloys 7089 black finish. They have two different types. Both are 16” 5x5 with 4.5 backspacing. However the width of the wheel differs from 8” to 10”. I plan on mounting them on BF Goodrich KM2’s 305/70R16 Load Range D. Which wheel width do I want and how do I know they will be able to mount on the tire I plan on purchasing? Anyone else running this set-up that can give me some info on what to expect?

I found out that my new BFG KM2 345 75 16s (36x13x16") don't seem to balance well on my KMC Enduros 16x8 wheels. I think in your case the 8" will be fine but my tires spec a 9.5-12" rim and my 8" s are "pulling in" the tire's shoulders causing vibes @ 70mph. I guess its time to sell my 16x8 black Enduros and go with a 16x10 I found. After taking them back to the tire shop 3xs to rebalance I went to D/TIRE and the manager used the Road-Force balancer and finally dialed them in to about 98%.
