The sidewalls of a street tire (you are thinking of doing this for the street?) are thin. It would be prudent to stay away from them. Think about a flat tire at night in freezing conditions.
You might consider using the widest recommended rim for the tire. It makes for a flush (almost) transition. Nothing to bolt on or off your tire for service. Less to fall off. I am using 155 section tires on 6" (152mm inside width) wide rims aero wheels on my vw.
I know you are set on your overall design. Consider that having the wheels set out from the body invites a lot of interference drag.
