Default ? for RB5 guys running Schumacher staggered rib tires.

Is there a trick to mounting these tires? The RB5 front rims are pretty wide and the tires look kind of goofy on there. Thanks

most people don't fit staggered ribs into the proper slots each side. Use the proper slot on the outside of the wheel, but put the inside rib of the tyre inside the wheel groove and glue it there. (hope that makes sense, you should be able to see the inside rim of the wheel sticking out then)
people do this with the wide associated fronts also.

Then cut off the inner rib else they look RIDICULOUS. Curved lexan scissors are ideal at least on B4 rims.
