You're not as far off as ppl make it sound. Go to the manufacture's website and they list the recommended wheel width for each tire size. The BFG gForce Sport needs a 7-9" wheel.

I think 245f(or235)/265r is the widest anyone has ever gone on stock AP1 wheels.

I would not do it, you may end up pinching the tire = less contact patch
