i have a few sets of 2.2" tires that i am looking to mount like this, and the wheels i bought happened to be 60mm without catching it, so i want to know if i will be making a big mistake mounting 2.2" tires, w 2.2" inserts, on 60mm wheels.
I wouldn't recommend it and I would suggest getting the correct 2.2 wheels for optimum performance. If exchanging the 60mm wheels for standard 2.2's is not an option, I would recommend cutting the bead off the 2.2 tire and mounting them per design of the 60mm wheel/tire combo with 2.4 inserts.
I put together some pics on how to do this...
