Good luck Boss.
The only way I know is, put somthing under the backside of the rim to get it off the floor.
Then lube up the bead and push down on the tire and screw the bead on the back side of the rim as much as you can.
Lube up the front side, as you are putting the air to it, lift up and try to get the bead on the front side to seal for just a second while the airpressure is being put to it.
G/L, what your trying to do, with something as flexable as a wrinklewall.....
There aught to be smoke comming out of your ears, cuz thats a biotch.

Now, if you want to tube them???
Let me know, I have a fixture made up for the screw spacing for a 15" rim??
If you need it, I'll throw it in the car...(MadD's car Friday!!
I run 8lbs. in my S-10 and you know the torque that thing pushes!!
Think about the tube!!

Last try, wrap a rope around the tire while putting air to it, put a stick through the rope and twist it to try to squish the beads out on to the rim.
