Yes it will, on an 18 anyway. Probably does not say so in the charts but it has been done. Hopefully some others can chime in that have done it. I know I have seen pics posted with this combo.

yes, it can be done. what will happen is curl the tread and sidewall some. 1/2" won't change it much. and most likely won't feel and negative affects from it. hell, years ago i put a N50-15 (315/50-15) on a 7" wide rim. now that took some effort.
