Narrative:

Just after nose gear lifted during rotation, loud bang heard and vibration felt. Continued takeoff. ATC advised us of apparent problem with right main gear. Elected to leave gear down. Declared an emergency and requested vectors for landing runway 8R at hnl. During climb noted rolling and yaw tendency to right. Corrected with opposite trim. Scan of instruments revealed split flap (left 5 degrees/right off scale). All engine parameters normal. Also noticed right fire shutoff handle approximately 2/3 way out towards off position. Attempts to reinstate handle unsuccessful. Visual inspection of wings from cabin revealed slats extended, flaps symmetrical, right inboard spoiler fully deployed. Prepared cabin for emergency landing, and landed on runway 8R without incident. Emergency ground crews reported no fire. Had passenger deplane from forward exit. Subsequent inspection of aircraft revealed #3 main tire failure causing damage to cables and hydraulic lines in right wheel well.
