Default Re: '40 rear fender rub one side only

Looking at the spring and shackles everything seems OK, or at least seems symmetrical.

The center bolt holding the spring is seated correctly, but the nut isn't tight, so I'll snug that up.

The shackles are at even angles, but if someone wants to let me know if it's a 'good' angle that would be awesome.

I think I could shim the fender brace and gain maybe 1/2", but I'm not comfortable doing any more than that and I don't think that's probably going to yield enough clearance for highway driving, so probably not useful.

Unless someone says my springs and shocks are abysmal, I think I've probably come up with "tires are too wide" as the root cause.

Many thanks everyone!
