I seriously want to thank those who gave me some insight and tried to help. Simple rim/tire issues blown way out by those who ruin forums. Thought this one was different. I would tell you the detrimental effect some of you have but it wouldn't do any good. You guys are right though. Listening to forum people will not help. Thanks.

Just gonna toss out something. If the rims are offset, then you can only mount the tire from one side--the ones on my Kawasaki Mule are like that.

Yes, they are just like that. :beerchug:

My go-cart has 2 pc rims like that---but its over 40 years old and the rims are alum.

I'm sure at some point they are two piece, but not in the way you imagine. No spot welds to drill out. Besides, the old ATV two piece rims have a rubber o-ring in them to seal them up. If these were a two piece rim and you drilled them out, then bolted them back together, first of all you would have ugly bolts in a rim that wasn't supposed to have them. Second, you they would not seal up. I guess you could tube them, but that's a lot of work to go through to do a simple tire mount. I realize you were just thinking out loud though.

I think you finally understand..... It IS a simple issue. All you need to do is take them to a reputable tire shop and get them mounted. :ThumbsUp:

Can't help the OP, but I can give you a bit of advice, personal advice. I also purchased the V-61 tires. I bought them for my 782, and knew I wouldn't be mounting them myself.
I DID have the wheels pre painted, and took them to "my tire guy", and had them installed. He used tire irons, a lot of soap, and within fifteen minutes I was paying the man and on my way home with mounted tires and minimal paint chipping.
Nothing a little paint, and brush couldn't fix.:bigthink:
My advice. Take them to a reputable tire "guy/establishment.:beerchug:

A old local service garage did it for a very fair price so like Tim I suggest you find a old service garage who use to do bias, tractor and truck tires, if this doesn't work for you find a place who do ATV tires, they charge premium but those guys deal frequently with small off road mag wheels and don't scratch them...

Sorry for your rim. :beerchug:

I don't get the problem with the V61's? I have installed them on.my 782 with just my Hf cheap tire system and had no issue...

I use a set of motorcycle tire pry bars with great success in the pass but for those V61 it didn't work. Maybe I'm just a old lazy man enough fortunate to pay a big $10 fee to get them done by a qualified person :biggrin2:

Our tire shop had no problems putting the V61's on rims either.
