160/80 on rear wheel and...

... belt rubs a bit. Got the shim for front pulley. Has anybody shimmed the rear one? How? If it had more horses, I would machine a full round plate with holes. But now I'm thinking small washer shims under all 5 (or 6, whatever) bolts should do. What's your thoughts?

Deal. I shimmed both front and rear pulley today with 2mm shims and it still rubs a bit when in allignment. I can get it just a bit off alignment and stop rubbing, or shim another mm or two. This is gonna be a tight squeeze, guys. Tire is getting close to everything everywhere!! But it will work.
James, I will try to take some pics today. It's getting dark in the garage.

No problem erltytimz, as soon as I get some time to mount everything. It's on the jack now, garage is too dark for my camera. This is what it looked like in different phases:

Voila, all with DIY Wide White Walls:
Wasn't easy, 4mm shims on front and rear pulley, some bending and the angle grinder get busy too. More pics to follow.

Looks like you've found a way to keep apart of the belt clean.

Ok, can I ask a dumb "girl" question.... Will weight on the bike not cause that to rub? It looks awfully tight!

No, weight won't move the wheel left, right or forward. Just upwards. and my fender (once I put it on) moves upd/down with the wheel - so no problem.
