A local machine shop helped me heat shrink the tires on wheels.

Here is the first wheel, freash out of the freezer. The freezer temperature of about 25 degrees will not shrink the wheel much, but every bit helps.

The wheel is held up on a steel block, just in case the back of the wheel was inside the tire preventing the tire from fully seating on the wheel.
