Hi Mike,
Are the “old rims” tubeless compatible? If not, I’d be wary of running less than you would with a tube since there is no architecture in the rim like a head lock or shelf to accommodate the movement of the tire without the support of the tube. Yes tubeless ready tires are stiffer in the sidewall but the bead isn’t pressed Into the rim by a tube which is how the rim was designed if it is not a tubeless ready rim...
