How about just getting the right size wheels for the tires. There is an accident waiting to happen - not to mention not getting good use of the tire foot print.
A lot of racers, especially the small tire guys are using wider wheels by an inch or so of the tread width. I think the reasoning is that they can run more air pressure and keep a flatter footprint, at least that's what I heard.
I wouldn't drive it. I would just about guarantee that combo is outside the tire manufacturers rim size recommendation - and there sure as hell is more than 1" difference. Rim screws were never ment to be utilized as bead locks. Glad I don't race at his track.
