If they are early stans rims then they often worked tubelessly much better with non-tubeless tyres (i know?). Trying to get UST tyres on them was often impossible and, if you did manage, sometimes catastrophic (as the beads might snap).
How much, how thick and how well-applied your rim tape is can make a massive difference to tyre fitting sometimes. Don't despair.
