After getting rid of the truck and being disappointed in how tire shops bend and scratch my rims ($60-$90), I've been looking for a reasonably priced multi use manual tire changer to be mounted (Removably) in the trailer.
I reached out to Tirestripper and had them make up an adapter for our centerlock wheels. I then sent him a wheel/tire to test. Below is the video of this test.

Note there is an FPR referance at the begining
He also is making up cones to balance our tires on his static balancer (A spin type unit, like the cycle guys swear by).
Wheel is an FC Techno front off our '93 Citation FC. Tire is 8 cycle old GY-160.
I've got 5 sets of rims to mount up, 2 sets of street car snow tire change overs and potentially 4 new tires for trailer. Should pay itself in a less then 2 seasons.
Looks like it works well, I'm going to order a full package, Changer, Balancer, Weights, Lube, Universal adapter for car/trailer tires.
