The diameter of the tire and rim have to match to work. You are alllowed some leeway in the other measurments, width and heigth.
For example: stock tires are 20x10x9
20=overall height
10=tread width
9=bead diameter

Stock rims are 9x8
9=diameter
8=width

What size tires do you have?
I'm guessing the beads weren't set correctly when they were mounted on the stock rims:ermm: Depending on the tire I think they need to have about 30 to 40 pounds of pressure to seat. It should say on the sidewall.
