I picked up some wheels from a local guy, which came off a 914. Took them to a tire shop to have the tires from my old wheels mounted on the new ones. The installer could not get the bead to seal. The bead protector (what the tire guy called it) would not fit over the lip of the wheel. I measured the wheels and the newer one is 1/8 inch larger in diameter than the old ones.
Anyone have this problem and have a work around? I'm not looking to buy new tires but really like these wheels. Attached image(s)

If he got them on, they will seat.
You need more air, remove the valve stem and blast it to seat the bead. You need to heat up the sidewall on Z rated tires. Rich |
