I've spent a good bit of time coming up with this solution. The tire calls for a tube but I think that is more of the rim than the tire since the tire is intended to be used on a rim that is probably more than 70 years old. While the price is high,when it offers the only solution, other than a complete redesign.

Here's another idea.
You could notch the swing arm and frame if necessary for tire clearance. Just weld a plate in the notch, thus keeping the structural integrity and strength of the tubular design. No redesign necessary.
