Your concerns are answering your own question. No.
If you want to go further into details .... What you need to do is get the specification sheet for the rims you are considering. You need the supplier to provide the safe load and maximum load rating of the rims. If the result is greater than the GVWR of your truck for each tire position, then OK to use them for normal driving on paved and maintained road. If you go backroad or off road at all or frequent areas with alot of washboards or pot holes, then divide the rim load rating by at least 2 before comparing to the GVWR.
