That's what if felt like putting my truck tires on. The tire bead was only 3 inches apart in the center. Made it extemely difficult to get the tire to hold air to set the bead.

Yeah, i went searching for techniques online and that was #1. Some use an inner tube to fill the gap and there is a company that makes a tool for that reason.
I tried stretching the tire overnight and no luck. I finally stood on the side wall and pulled up on the wheel. I was able to seat the inner bead and put it back on the machine. I called for reinforcements (wife) and we lifted the tire to create a seal on the upper bead. It worked but was a struggle.

I used brake cleaner fluid last time to reseat my lawnmower tire that had fallen off the rim. I chose poorly and burnt my arm hair off from the forearm up (i was at least wearing my welding gloves but it wasn't enough)
