Default Rear Wheel Clearance

Hi

I fitted my rear wheels last weekend. While I was fitting them I notice that the bottom wishbone and upright have very little clearance between the rims. The rolling chassis touches the rim in places.

I have reduced the threaded bar to the shortest length possible, however I have maintained the washers on each end as I assume this retains the bush tubes. I have not get fully tightend the hub nuts. I am hoping that when tightend this will rectify the issue but did not want to use the nyloc until final assembly.

Do I need to either?

1) Buy larger rims?
2) Make ali spacers to increase the distance by 5-10 mm?
3) Tighten the hub nuts as the nylocs will not make any diffrence if already self tapped?

Has anyome else had similar issues?
