Sure, just takes a bit of stretching.

Its probably a Les Schwab thing. They don't exactly hire the brightest

I've seen 14in tires on 15in rims. They looked ok, but I'm just glad they weren't on my vehicle.

you don't measure the lip when determining wheel diameter. the flange will usually be 1" to 1.5" wider than the actual measure of the bead seat.

Im sorry but that would be very difficult to do. I used to work for a tire shop and by accident grabbed the wrong size tire once, I believe it was a 15 inch rim and I grabbed a tire for a 14, there was no way that tire was stretching around that rim. There is a steel cable inside the bead and they don't give much.
