Thats great I had 4 rims to mount tires on 2 were 1946 and 2 were 1964. Two of the rims had slotted holes in the rim for the valve stem and the other two just had holes for the valve stem. they were easy to mount I made a round disc by connecting some 4x4s together to just fit inside the rim lip on the backside of the rim laid it on the floor then set the rim on it then I took the tire with the tube and flap installed started the stem in the rim then laid the tire onto the rim. I then started the ring on and held it down with my left foot and working it around with my right foot I did all 4 this way and no hammers to bang up the paint on the rings it worked well. then for airing up I put chains around the tire through the slots in the rim set them up against the posts on my lift sit a extra tire in front and aired up from the backside. I did lay a old blanket over the 4x4s so it wouldent bang up the paint. I all was easier than I thought it would be and they are 1100s
