Rim Width
Currently I have 235/85 R16's on my truck not a bad tire but wouldn't mind a little wider tire. The rim is 16x7, the tire I was looking at is 265/75 16 recommended for a rim width of 7 to 8. Would it be better to get a wider rim, or would it be safe to run this tire on my 16x7 rims. I'm a little nervous about running a wider tire on my narrow rim. Thanks

The 265 is nominally 10.43 inches.

I had 31-10.50 x 15s on 15x7 wheels and they were fine. If you off-road much, the narrower wheel is more protected with that combination.
On road, no issues.
Toyota for one, and many Toyota owners run 265s on 7s with no issues.
Mount 'em up and drive with pride....
