I just got some new ITP HD's for the rear and XCR's for the front. I also have Hiper beadlocks and have never installed them before. Are there any tricks? Should I take the wheel apart in the middle and do it that way or what? Any help would be appreciated.

lube lube lube.
tires are easier to getonto the hipoers than a regular rim. just lube the crap out of the bead and the lip of the wheel. the bottom bead will go on pretty easy. the top one you just have to go slow nad work it down over. i used a screwdriver and was very careful. i'm not going to reccommend the screwdriver to anyone though.

i have alum. just take off the outside ring. soap up the rim a little and the tire will slide over the rim. make sure the tire is lined up w/ the outer rim shoulder and put the ring back on. (tighten across) air up and ride:devil:
