No, but if you have disk brakes on both wheels, there's no reason you couldn't put 305 rims on there; then the BA's might fit (dunno, just speculating).

Kmart tubes are 305 (16" x 1.75") with schraeder valve. You can use them in 349 (16 x 1 3/8) tires, but it's not as easy as you'd wish, and you have an increased risk of pinch flats since there's a bit of extra tube.
