i am NOT talking about split rims

i KNOW its not 100% by the book but neither are a lot of things that work. ( but try explaining that to most self proclaimed ,,experts,,)

i ALSO have a tire machine and HAVE removed many 16,s from 16.5 wheels i have scrapped. so i KNOW they fit.

why is it MORE likely to come off if its a TIGHTER fit in the first place??

so what your REALLY saying is you havent done it and dont know but theres a marking on the tire

im NOT saying it SHOULD be done im saying it HAS been done many times but NOT by me.
and wondered if anybody here has done it
I have a real hard time believing that.
