I found the problem.  The left side measures from fender to tire 1", left side 2".  I need to shim the fender over .5".  When I installed the car tire I thought I had it a lot better than that.  Now I have to go back and look to see what I did wrong.  The shocks are set on 2 so that explains why the extra weight cause the rubbing.

do a search for "washer mod".  It will move your fender over enough to clear.

+1  worked for me,  I used washers stacked to about 3/8" thickness - no more rubbing!!

When I installed the tire I did the washer mod.  Apparently not enough or else something shifted.

How thick were your "stacked" washers?
