I am putting an old 297 together and the 21x11x8 Carlisle tires are too big. Does anyone know what tire I should use?

Where are they too big? Height or width?

Height. There is little to no clearance underneath.

Is the tire hitting the muffler?

You can heat the fenders up and bend them upwards for more clearance. Many people use 2x4 frames to hold up the body while cooling down.
You're right, he has all kind of clearance. It not only hits the muffler but also the muffler shield. It is sp tight you can't spin the tire. On mine I can't even fit my fingers between the top and the tread. I double checked the tire size and it is correct. Nothing has been modified on the. Machine.

His 208 has no external muffler, the first gens did have an issue with melting the rear tire if over inflated.

I'd guess the frame has flexed to the extent that the tires rub. All the Attex are prone to it, but the first gen machine's light frame tended to be even more so. Have a look straight at the front and rear of the machine and see if it doesn't look like you have excessive negative camber.

Hey Don, was thinking the same thing. While there is support on the bottom of the rails, there is none on the top except trans at the rear.
