Sorry to hear about your troubles.

A long...long...long time ago, I worked in a tire shop. It was so long ago (hint), guys were putting Crager S/S rims on their '65 GTOs, and 'Stangs! Te number one rule in the shop was that the "Chromes, and Fancies" always got worked from the back side.

I agree with CW. You need a tire specialist, who knows how to remove a tire without destroying either the tire, or the rim.

Good Luck,
