tires.... again

[Paul Heise]

Hey Guys, we're rebuilding a 25 pounder at work and I just bought some tires (9.00/16-made in Uncle Sam's Ass), BUT the old tires have a warning on the side that the new ones don't:

"for 5' rims only"

now, will these new tires fit on that rim or can I modify the new tires??? Can any one show me what exactly has to be done for the new tires to fit properly on these rims? The locking rim is not seating properly on the rim, so we want to sort this out before we get to the next tire and maybe not pay for an other tire.

Pictures with directions would be great, just to make it American proof.

Thanks

Paul
