Mounting Regular Tires on Donut Wheels?

I know there's quite a few people here who enjoy skinnier tires for better mileage.

I have a few reasons I'd like to get Donuts for my Focus.

First is I want a set of steel wheels for the car for winter. I'm only able to find alloys in the junkyard. Would much prefer steel wheels for winter. My winter tires are 185 65 15 ... would a donut be too narrow for them?

The next question is I am toying with the idea of buying a set of donut rims and some 155 80 15 tires when the current set of tires wears out.

Do donut wheels have two beads ... can regular tires be mounted on donut rims?

Edit: I think I asked this before
