Front fender clearance-new tire !

There is minimal to no fender clearance after installing my new Kenda 657 100/90-19. I can hear it squeak when I roll it into the garage. Will this present a problem or will it simply rub off excess rubber?

Loosen the mounting bolts, and see if you can slide the fender up a bit to get some clearance.
If not....you could remove the fender and use a round file to get a bit more adjustment.

I tried the mounting bolts before I brought it home. Will try the 'hole' thingy next. Thanks.

Put spacers on the tire, set the fender on, see what adjustment to make.

Unless you're set on keeping the Kenda, I'd take it back to the mechanic for resolution. It should NEVER have left the shop in that condition.

Big surprise! zero evidence of tire rubbing when I removed the fender.There is a tiny lip on the inside of the leading edge that I removed with a Dremel, file and rust-oleum. Also, the leading edge mounting holes are oval, which I enlarged.
Bonus: new tires are fresh-2217 code.
I must be a 'nervous nelly'.
