Nope!

And just as a little extra, I would never run a 16.5" wheel. They have no safety bead, so if your tire goes flat, it can be very unsafe.

no no no no no

Why do you think 16" LT tires have the "Do not use on 16.5 rims" warning molded into them in the first place?

Really?
NO!!! 16 is a 16" rim and a 16.5 is a 16" rim with a 5 degree bead DO NOT TRY IT!!! unless yiou want to die

Have you seen it done? I have, not on any of my stuff but i have seen it. I asked this because I wanted to see if anyone one hear has done this.
