Tire comparison sites are a source of data but are maybe not your best source of advice. Advising against going outside 3% variance is the correct standard advice if you want everything to remain as it is in comparison to stock, but that doesn't mean you can't 100% acceptably play outside that range as long as your are doing it for a specific reason, and the change is helping you make that reason work better, for example increased ground clearance, increasing load capacity, cosmetic appeal, etc...

It comes down to assessing what you are using your vehicle for, your personal preferences, and what you are will to give up a little to improve the areas most important to you. For that you need to ask the right questions and get the right answers.
