Default Can i fit these slicks on these wheels safely?

Im thinking of picking up a set of MT 24.5x8x15's for this weekend. The problem is the only wheels i have to mount them on right now is my stock ITR wheels. which are 15x6.5.
Now back in the day i ran 22x8x15's on 15x6.5 inch wheels and they worked out fine , but i dont know if becuase the diff in sidewall there will be a diff in contact patch or whatever? Anyone think this will be unsafe to run them like this until i get the loot for some Bogarts?

Its a toss up between these and a set of BFG's for this weekend.

TIA

Hi itr206; To be right you need to call a M/T dealer and ask them that ?

Ok , i just called them and they said they should be more than safe. They said they like to stay within +-1, but im close enuff where it wont be a huge ordeal. He said if i keep them on for a long time i might see some slight akward wear patterns, but thats about it.
