to clarify, I know it's not a good idea, but will it work for a month or so?

Default Answered here, and there too!

The mfrs rim width range is not arbitrary, it is designed to be the minimum or maximum allowable.. Going beyond that is giving you a <u>very real</u> possibility of :
1) damagaing tire/tire bead for future installs
2) de-beading the tire from the wheel by being too stretched
3) tire failing altogether

No matter for a day, a month or forever.. BAD IDEA
