Assemble the tire/tube/hub and bolt the hub together, put some soapy water around the bead to let it slide on better, and then inflate. Like I mentioned, it is a tighter fit... we needed air pressure to force the bead all the way onto the rim.

When we get around to assembling all of our wheels, we'll probably install the six bolts that attach our aluminum hubs to the AM wheel before inflating. I'm not sure how much I trust the little screws around the perimeter of the wheel.
