I'd suggest mounting and inflating the tubeless tires, and using a spritz bottle and some soapy water to check the rivets for leaks before installing the wheels on the truck. I've seen small air leaks sealed up by bead blasting the inside of the wheels and giving them a heavy coat of epoxy-based paint. Jerry
