Here's a couple of videos from Youtube showing the techniques used to stretch tires to fit those wide wheels. You gotta love the wide rims they have. Love it!
The usual way of getting the tire expand is by using LPG sprayed into the tire and they light it up to get the inside of the tire vacuumed hence the tire sidewall will expand. But this method is really dangerous. Possibility of getting the rim and the tire airborne is there.
Here's another way of getting it stretched. Honestly, I dont really know what they were doing with those 2 huge tank with outlet nozzle. Possibly they forced the compressed air into the tire through the side walls gap and the tire will expand to the lip of the rim.
