With some rim and tyre combinations it can just be a nightmare to get them on.
What I'd recommend is to put the wheel on a table. Stand facing side onto the wheel, with the side that the bead is stuck on facing towards you, positioned at 12 o clock. Place your palms on top and push down and then kind of roll it up and away from you. Use your body weight.
Good luck - don't give up!
