trim off to much and tire will probably rub the frame behind the wheel.

Replace the long nuts with coupler nuts from the hardware store. Grind away on them until something rubs. You might be able to make an adjustable stop using jamb nuts and dial it in. I don't recall if the lock bolt is fine or coarse though.
