Anyone Runnimg Alcoa 22.5 Wheels ?

Hello,
I have 22.5" Alcoa's and 22" tires. CALM DOWN !!!!! I bought the truck that way. Does anyone else run 22's on 22.5 wheels? I have no idea why the previous own did this but just wanted to know if anyone ran into any problems with this combo. Of course Alcoa (Recommends!) that you don't do this, but I have talked to some tire folks that say this is common and causes no problems.
Thanks
Grant

Wheels

The wheels are not shaved, I had a flat and when the tire was removed I checked. I talked to a tire guy that said that installers just pop the tires on and everything is OK

On a side not, those durabrites, are about the crappiest thing invented, I polish alot of rims at my side job, and there is really no way to polish them due to the coating on them. Also the coating with get scratches and nicks and will become hazy over time.
