all multi piece wheels must be inflated using a clip on air chuck with a very very long hose to the inflator handle and be done in a cage (or with use of other approved restraint device) and be done by a trained truck tire professional ONLY.
(I am an old tire guy so i do my own)
used a 2in wide 1/2in thick nylon tow strap for a restraint (looped round & round and secured) then inflate to 10psi - let air out make sure beads are seated - do that a couple of times and then final inflation.
ALL multi piece truck wheels (no matter what brand/type) must be inspected for serviceablity before remounting. part numbers (stamped on both pieces) must match, no rust,
cracks, bends, welds, etc.
