Is the tyre not rubbing against the inner side of crank case? Have you introduced more shims behind the rear brake drum cone?

A 110/90 X 10 will fit without touching the bumpstop, you'll need to fit a spacer under the cone though. MB sell them, and they work well.

It depends how far your rear hub cone fits into the hub son only go halfway in :roll:
