I've run into this problem as well.
The tubes I found for avoiding flats, are thick enough you could use them as tires by themselves.
As has already been said above, the key is to get the tire/tube squeezed into the 'valley' of the rim on the opposite side of the rim. This can be difficult when the tube is extra heavy duty like mine are. Use of squeeze clamps to help get it in there (the valley) is allowed, IMO.
I can remember changing tires on my JC Higgens 10-spd as a kid and using screw drivers as levers. Had to be really careful doing it that way.
