Will these tires safely fit on my rims?

36x12.5x16.5 tires (Hummer tires)
I'd like to mount them on my 1977 M880 5/4 ton. It's got the factory wheels 9.50R16.5 on it. I'm not sure the rims are wide enough for the Hummer tires.
 
9.5" wheels are plenty wide for a 12.50 tire. Most people run 12.50s on 8" wheels. I run my 33x13.50s on 8's and they're just fine. For off-road use only, you can find plenty of people who run 14.50s on 8's; you can even find a few that run 35x16.00 Boggers on 8's. A lot of tire places won't mount a tire that's more than 4" wider than the rim though - but, your 12.50s on 9.5s will be just fine.
