The M416 uses large diameter wheel bearings, and has a small cargo area, I doubt a negative offset wheel will cause any harm.
I have towed a loaded 1/4-ton trailer with 8" wide wheels(lots of negative offset) thousands of miles with no wheel bearing problems.
If you get them off and need new tubes, these guys have always treated me right:

You may also consider 7.50x16 NDT assuming they are still available.
I've got a M101A1 with 7.50x16 highway treads on it, and it rode level behind a 2-wheel drve Dodge D150.
Regarding MV's, I always have the Insurance agent scan and fax or email a picture of the vehicle to the home office for approval(so they know exactly what they are insuring) before the policy is wrote.
That is on advice from friends in the insurance business. If the Company has an out(such as...
