I searched and could not find my answer even tho I'm sure I seen it here somewhere. I'm getting ready to glue some urethane tires on hubless wheels with the setscrew hole nearer the middle of the wheel. With tires glued on and hole so far from edge, how do you get to setscrew? I think I've seen posts about installing a hole thru tire to match up with setscrew. And if so, how is it done and how well does tire hold up with a hole in it? or do I just leave the tire unglued in that area?

Never had any issues with putting hole in the tire. I just use the same wrench as the setscrew.THE other Vancouver aka Vancouver Washington across the river from keep Portland weird....

I have been drilling holes in tires for many years, with no issues whatsoever............lots of our local area club guys have also been doing the same thing, all with no issues.
I use a small diameter cone shaped diamond burr in a Dremel to drill the holes.........urethane, modern and vintage rubber.

Just use a needle to make the hole then insert your tool. It is best to use a driver that is the same size as the set screw some tool's have a large shank that will stretch out the hole. Don't use the tool to make the hole it will make the hole far to big.
