i am questioning your bolt "grade" and not using a higher grade of bolt. vs the cheaper bolts you can find at local hardware stores. along with correct torquing the bolts for the rim/hub.
the limited amount of rear tractor tires i have had to deal with. i have had issues getting the rim up nice and tight against the hub. rim was snagging up in the very center. and had to use some extra lubrication (dish soap, or BP blaster or like), to get rim seated correctly. and then slowly hand tighten with a socket wrench (NO impact socket / air tool), to pull rim up to were it needed to be. as soon as it got up to were it needed to be. everything was easy, it was everything up to that point that was a pain in rear. to note it, i was cheating with a cherry picker / engine lift, on the tire. to allow me to swing it / push tire into place easier.
