Can't bend object along it's vertical edges

I want to use the bend modifier so I can curve it vertically and get that arc so I can fit the tire inside as this is meant to be the texture. I want to fit the actual tire inside, but i cant curve it along its vertical edges. I tried it along all Axis ( X Y Z) but it doesnt work. There is an orange line in the middle following the X axis. I am not sure what it indicates. Thank you for your time.

Hi,

 

Make sure you have enough subdivisions in your geometry to support the bend you want. I can't tell from your shot whether that is the case or not. Try adding some edge loops vertically until it will bend as you want it to.

 

Post back if that's not the issue. 🙂

Hi friend..

Just rotate the gizmo 90 degree.

I hope you'll get the result.

Thank you.
