Thanks, Mark. I really appreciate your help. Maybe these photos will help. You can see from the image how much further the tire will need to stretch to get over the rim and I have another image showing the other side that has an approx. 1/2' gap between the tire and the rim. The way it is now, it is impossible to get the tire over the rim even if I put all my weight on the lever. Does this show you anything more that may help?
Thanks
Cliff
