If it's the outer tire on the rear, I use my leveling blocks under the inner tire.

Very leery of doing this. Larger vehicles have a Stud with a Lug over it that tightens onto the INNER wheel. It's usually tightened with a Square Socket. Then the Outer wheel goes over that Lug then a large Nut secures the outer.

On the Ford Class C's, and I believe most other light trucks, both wheels slip over the studs then a Nut secures both wheels at once. Leaving the truck standing on one wheel, no nuts holding it, risky.

Probably won't come down, at least on level ground, but if it does, it's very likely to damage the studs and maybe the hub and wheel. I wouldn't do it.

When I first saw the post, I was going to reply. Same as you, both wheels are sandwiched together on the same studs, with the same lugnuts. Take the lugnuts off, and BOTH wheels are now loose on the studs. The way my Sprinter axle is set up the hub centric wheels have just enough hub to seat on and not an extra bit. Would be an extremely dangerous thing to do what Pastorbill is suggesting.
