So..

Looks like they won't fit? LOL. Either the tire bead is too small, or the wheel's are too small.

Thoughts?

If they are doing what VP wheels & Axial tires has done to me, which is the tire bead slips out of the bead lock just as its getting tight enough to clamp & hold, try putting a similar sized plastic wheel between the table & the VP wheel while you tighten down the screws. This allows the tire to stay in its correct location around the wheel while you slowly get the screws evenly tightened. You might have to go slow, like half a turn per clamp screw per go around slow, but they eventually seat right.
