Default Bead on tire won't pop all the way out ??

OK I just had my tires mounted on my new wheels and for the life of me I can't get the bead to pop all the way out against the rim...there is a small gap maybe .125" between the rim and tire. They hold air and they balanced ok...I have had them inflated pretty high for the last two days...I'm afraid to put more air in em...they have about 40 psi or so. I thought maybe the rim screws would pull it up there but the screws get tight in the rim before the tire moves. They are snug against the rim on the back side but not the polished side.I took the rim screws back out and am letting them set overinflated to see what will happen. They are 32 x 14 stiff sidewall goodyears no tubes.Anyone ever see this before? Maybe it is just the wheel design?? IS it ok to leave it like that?
