New to beadlock tires. Binding on install. Help pls

[parcou]

New to installing beadlock. Issue when I get them about tight, one side slips out. I am doing a star pattern, I did try rubber bands, but what I have too tight. I've swapped sides, cleaned, removed foam, etc. Just seems to be these tires I do not know I am nit using a drill doing by hand with a few turns at a time. Tried some Silcone spray and it just made it slip out faster.

Any videos, tips or tricks to get a difficult beadlock to stay in during assembly?

These are 2.2 rims and tires.

They are not new. Used tires given to me from a friend I removed from him beadlock rims transferring the tires to my new rims.

I've done a few but they were all new and not this difficult.

only bead lock wheels I have used are for the baja 5b from what I remember never had any trouble with em

The tires inner might be stretched and too big. Other thought is, are you sure the wheels are 2.2 and not 1.9?

Try putting the tire in the freezer. Maybe it will stiffen the tire making it easier

A little shrinkage from the cold might happen to help that fit better.
Those looked like ryft tires. What aluminum rims are those? I have the ryft kit and I'm looking for aluminum rims.

Thx fam for all the tips. I got them on thinking since they are used and not well kept might be the issue. Time will tell if they stay on.

Thx!!
