I took the front bead of the rim and painted mine but I have my own tire machine. You can get a pack of notecards and stuff them between the rim and tire and you will be fine. I took the bead off because I wanted to make sure I got the edge of my rims. Im sure if you pulled the rims off and swung by a tire shop they would pop the front bead for not much coin. The do your painting and spray a TON of soapy water at the rim/tire area where they meet and fill them with air. Just be careful as I have witnessed somebody getting their finger pinched between the rim/tire.
