It's this simple, put tire on rim, remount on bike (yes chain and all), wait dont take bike off of rear stand yet.... get out regular old trusty angle grinder like this one - http://www.makita.com/en-us/Modules/Too ... ?ID=316402 Have a friend ect... spin tire by hand at an even and consistent speed while you grind off enough rubber to stop the tire from contacting the chain, (yes just use the normal freaking grinding disk.... yes the flat surface of it you douchebag) then grind off a little bit more just because I said so. By the way if you and your friend are dumb enough to do this without eye protection on good, maybe you will learn that you should by losing a freaking eye.
Now take bike off stand, put on your riding gear and ride the damn thing.... no don't bother looking at the thing again and re over thinking it, just lube and adjust chain, and keep proper air pressure in the tire.... if it rubs a little so what that will keep that side of the chain clean. JUST LEAVE IT ALONE NOW UNTIL THE TIRE WEARS OUT.

So in short only these things are needed -
1. New Shinko 757 180/60-16R
2. Rear stand
3. Angle grinder with grinding wheel
4. Common Sense

I understand that some may be offended by this post, those will be the same ones who do not have #4 in the above list. My suggestion to them is to sell all motorized transport in there possession and utilize mass transit as a favor to the rest of us, and for the saftey of society in general

I suggest you grow up and learn how to express yourself as a man (if you are indeed one) or stop your attempts to communicate. You seem ridiculously overwrought or insecure. Dude, get some professional help. I hope things improve for you.

Also the front fender was raised slightly for the new front tire. There is also more lean when on the side stand due to the taller rubber as has been discused earlier. A simple alturnative for new tires.
