I am rebuilding a small (4x7) trailer. It has an old beam-type axle from a GM truck, probably a 3/4-ton. The rims are tube-type 8-hole 15x5.5. The tires are old tubeless radials but have tubes and are rotted. The trailer will rarely see off-property use but I want to retain the on-road, short-trip option. I want to use modern 15" radials -- with tubes to accommodate the old rims, of course. (Caveat and apology: I'm only familiar with one-piece automotive-type rims.)
I have a couple of questions:
(1) The rim has an outer ring that is free to rotate on the rim when tire is off; the tire bead seats against that ring. Does that ring affect method for mounting/dismounting? I ask because I usually dismount toward the shallower offset but had a rough time getting the old tire off.
(2) Does anyone know of a more modern rim that will fit the old truck hubs? Tubeless rims would be great.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
