My lead was great! He made it look so easy. His equipment holds the inside bead against the wheel seat and all you have to do is work with the other bead. Easy as pie with the right equipment
He also had bead glue too
Now I just need to install longer wheel studs because the wheel flange is extra thick and you need to also use a special washer for the beveled lug nuts. One thing leads to another . . . I'll probably find out I don't have enough horsepower for these paddle tires and will have to fix that issue next, etc
And yes, we did the ratchet strap around the tire, but it just crushes it because it is so thin. We also tried the starter fluid redneck method with no luck because the bead was too far from the seat. That method works well on a trail out in the boonies on standard offroad tires
