I'm asking this for a buddy of mine, He just bought an 3 wheeler and it has brand new rear tires on it, But they spin on the rims, they still hold air and everything but you can hardly ride it because of this problem.
Is there any way to fix it without having to buy new tires?

If the rims were too small do u think the tires would hold air?

I am with him. Have you ever tried to break a bead on a tire? They are extremely hard to break loose. The tire should not spin on the rim, it sounds like you have the wrong size tires for the rims.

how much air pressure is he runnin?

I know my gocart rims spun when they had really low air in them, however they are tube tires..

Take them to tire shop and spend $10 to have them taken off and see if the beads are tore up by now.you will probably have to find new tires anyway.

My 300 tires did that when i didnt know how to set a bead, he needs to set the bead.
