There is a correct way to do this. A steel cage is made into which the
tire and split rim are placed after they are properly assembled and
before any attempts are made to inflate the tire. Rope, chains, cables
and locks turn into shrapnel when the rim splits. Then you die. If you
can't afford the proper safety equipment and your life isn't worth the
$10 or less that it would take to hire a professional to do it correctly
at least pay up your life insurance policy so your survivors won't be
too inconvenienced by your demise. This also applies to split rims that
you are just airing up if they were allowed to get so low that the
integrity of the rim assembly is in question.
Seen enough of that in the ER.
