Gluing rubber tires to wheels

Thanks for the input. This will be a permanent job. I normally never have to consider the gluing of tires, but this particular project is a collaboration of new and old parts and is being assembled as a "laugher" mock-up of a friends vehcile and the tires that I am using do not fit snugly on the rimes that I am using. The chrome has been removed from the wheels.The bead of the tires do not hug the rim like I would prefer. I'm just looking to hold them in place for cosmetic purposes.

If the build turns out, I'll post some pics along with the story behind the car.

Thanks

I will treat this as sort of a multiple choice response.  I say this because I do not know your building habits.

1.  If you build your models to be permanent (never mess with them once built) then be sure any paint (or chrome) has been scraped off the surface(s) of the wheel, or wheel halves, where they will marriage up to the inside of the tire and/or each other.  On the actual inside of the tire rough up the surface with 320 grit wet/dry sand paper so it no longer has a sheen on it.  I do this using the paper dry.  Then it is a matter of choosing epoxy, model tube cement, or super glue (I prefer super glue in the gel form).  Put a few spots of which ever on the surface of one of the pieces needing glued together.  Do not put it on all the pieces.  Go easy on the amount so no squishing out of the glue occurs, assemble as needed and clamp some sort of pressure on the parts so they stay mated until glue dries.

2.  If you build your models where changing your mind later and redoing becomes necessary then clean as in step 1 and go with either regular old white glue or I much prefer using rubber cement as it has better holding strength for the long haul and still allow for disassembly anytime later on.  Again be sure the surfaces where the glue is going to be laid or have contact is cleaned up.  Use the pressure technique to keep the surfaces in contact with each other until bond dries.
