Semi inflate the inner tube a little as this helps prevent it getting nipped between the two sides of the wheel on assembly. And a bit of grease on the wheel halves helps the tyre to slide into the bead better.
Or do what I and a lot of scooterists are doing..............scrapping the old half & half steel wheels and replacing them with alloy tubeless ones from SIP Scooters. Available in polished alloy or matt black with polished rim. They look good, don't rust and are lighter but the real improvement is that they are far less prone to blow-outs, punctures and rapid deflation all of which increase the safety tenfold. They cost around £50 - £60 each but you can't put a price on safety.
