A lot of the smaller rims just fit inside the sleeve - for slightly bigger rims you can either be lazy like me and put a cut down the edge of the sleeve to enable it to expand or carefully sand the inside of the sleeve to enlarge it so that the new rim fits. Alternatively I guess you could use sheet styrene to build up the rim to fit the tyre and do away with the sleeve. Hopefully pictures will explain things a bit better.
