i picked up 4 37" Goodyear MT and mounted them on my 2 piece hummer wheels but cant get the bead to set. i dont wanna use starter fluid because im afraid to ruin the rubber seal in between the rims. also tried putting a heavy duty ratchet an ratcheting the center of the tire to get the bead closer but it still wont seat. Any ideas or easier ways i can get these set would be awesome thanks

Need more info:
Are these steel H1 wheels?
Your goodyears are 16.5" right?
Do you have beadlocks or runflats inside the assembly?
Are you able to get the nuts on the wheel studs & if so, did you get the two halves completely bolted together?
Did you use any lubrication on the bead prior to assembly?
take it to a tire shop with a bead blaster or pick one up on ebay.

if he had the inserts installed the beads seat by default.
the o-ring is compltely incased in the steel rim shell and is not going to be damaged by any fire resulting from the s-fluid booster.
