Like I said before its prob. tubeless. you whave to wipe a thin coat of grease or Vaseline on the wheel and bead of the tire. it prob still wont go on all the way till you air it up. be careful you don't pinch the tube when putting the wheel together its a pain when the bead don't set, it makes the tube squeeze together and it will want to go between the wheel halves. good luck. :laugh::laugh::laugh:
....I was going by the "inside edge" as stated, but of course since George's bikes always need repair he's the one that's been there,done that, and realizes it's the raised inside bead seating location and not the inside edge. A Rose is a Rose is a Rose, and an edge is an edge.
....George's trick should do the trick.

Azusalite Wheels
After giving up on my wheels I came across a link for azusa tires. Ordered a 6-inch tire from Jack's and it arrived today. Wheel slid on the split rims without needing any grease or soap. Apparently the azusa tire is slightly different than the 6-inch carlisle. Height of tire is perfect for my ARCO. Everything lines up real nice. Can't wait to mount the new B&S engine and get it back up and running.
Lessen learned...use azusa tires with the azusalite wheels.
