    Are you running wheel spacers? What are your tire dimensions?

    Either gonna need a skinnier tire or a rim of the same width with more backspacing. (more negative offset)

    what's your rim specs?

    Really? +20mm offset? Not -20mm offset.

    If you've got a +20mm offset rim on a 12.5" wide tire - that's your rubbing problem right there.

    New rims, or spidertrax wheel spacers.

    Do you have wheel spacers?
    Or has anyone had viberation problems with wheel spacers? If so, do you know any ways to get rid of it?

    Cheap wheel spacers are trouble. Spidertrax usually work well for folks on TW. If you're really worried about it, swap out your wheels for wheels with less backspacing.
