I say that from my experience and the feedback i get from friends using gp5000 on wide rims. Not impossible of course but more difficult.
Personnally i find the gp5000 beads very grippy/sticky, which makes tubeless sealing pretty easy and long lasting, but installing new tyres harder. I wouldn't try using tubes with it as i am not very good at not pinching tubes :) -
Dude, gp5k TL are literally famous for being the worst for fitting onto rims. I can testify to that, I can also report that the newer S TL are still tough , but not especially bad.

Is the tyre the clincher or tubeless version?
I have trouble even with the clincher version (25mm) on my lb rims but I imagine the tubeless version is very tricky to get installed.

@KarlMarx
May I ask why you both say that? On it being a bad combo? Are the GP5000 known for being particularly tight/difficult to get on/off?
Maybe this should be time for me to finally go tubeless...
