I have pitbulls on stock wheels. I used a bit of ca glue to help hold the bead in the groove though

well, in my experience, no you can't-not without CA glue. I tried a couple different sets/brands on a TH wheel with no luck at all. you didn't have to pull very hard at all by hand to unbead any of the tires I tried.

What if some one made a filler ring behind the tire?
