That sure is what it looks like to me. Even after doing this, you may still not have clearance. That depends on the width of your tire. I personally have no issue with having to let the air out, and then pump the tire back up after remounting the wheel/tire. Were talking about maybe 10 seconds to deflate, and maybe a minute to inflate. Forcing the tire through and having to readjust the brakes is just making it a bit more difficult, and taking more time. How often do you dismount the wheels?
