I used to work at a truck tire shop back in the mid 80's, Their are two kinds of split rims. The old style has the split in the middle of the rim. While inflating them you can't see if the rim is seated together. They must be placed in a safety cage or bolted to the truck. No way to tell if they will stay together during inflation. I have seen them come apart and blow the leaf springs off the rear end! The new style has a ring on the outer part of the rim. During inflation you can watch the ring seat. My guess is you have old style, I would replace them with newer one peice wheels. I would get rid of the split rim altogether. B.B.
