Could I fit them?

I don't think they will fit, without some serious mods to the tires. I have a set of 40 series bowties/velocity and they are nearly 3"wide, I'm thinking you'll need to section the tire to fit

But bowties are very low profile tires.

The extra 4mm diameter doesn't seem like much but it will be a stretch. That coupled with being a narrower rim would leave a lot for rolling on the rim, it may not handle very well.

OK. Then maybe somebody knows or could weight tech 5 rims for me?

Its just because i want to save some weight on trenchers but if the the tech 5 rims arent very heavy than I'll go with them. VTR are only 55g but if I save like 10g per wheel and get bad handling than it isn't worth it.
