Check your bolts inside the rear fender for the side rails. If they have more than one washer, you may need to round the heads down some. I have a Shenko 140/90-15. I rubbed a little on the right hand side. The bolts were too long and had several washers under the heads. Proper length bolts just clear. I have 1 inch longer shocks but at 250 lbs it's probably about even with stock. The bigger tire put my cruisinf 'sweet spot' right at 70 mph. Grat for the freeway commute.
