I do not have 22166FF tyres but I do have 22168FF's so I tried them on 15 x 10 CBD wheels. And yes: it does "crown" quite a bit. As Harry mentioned: not insurmountable with a bit of truing but as-is it is just not a good fit. I think you are attempting an inappropriate combination. The width is wrong, the rib is wrong and the diameter is wrong. Other than that it is fine.... :D
Two observations:
1. I just do not think a 16mm wide tyre on a 10mm wide wheel is a good idea. The tyre extends way beyond the rim.
2. It was difficult to get the tyre on the 15mm wheel. I believe the crowning is as a consequence of the mismatch. The wheel diameter is too big and the rib seems too high.
In trying it on a Slot.it 14mm F1 wheel the fit was much, much better. Spot on in fact. This (or something similar) is clearly the wheel the tyres were meant for. Easy to get on (but still a good, snug fit) and the rib obviously fits as no crowning could be seen.
