I'll assume you have a decent compressor at the very least around 25liters,if you haven't then you've not a hope.

Either stand the wheel upright and put pressure on the tyre to seal it to the rim and if that fails lie the wheel flat and put a rachet strap around the tyre and rachet onto the wheel then put the airline on the valve.

Wot he ↑ said... take the wheel to a petrol station and use their machine  :nod

 :iagree make sure you remove the valve core try inflating to prevent restricting the air up.  A little washing up liquid helps the carcass slip over the bead rib if you don't have any proper bead soap.
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint
