Tire is too big. We run a 150 series Alpha 13 and have no rubbing but it's 35mm smaller diameter than yours. Difference in diameters below.

A properly sprung shock upgrade would help minimize the rear shock travel and probably make the rubbing lessen considerably or go away all together. Pretty sure you can pick one up for less than $100 on fleabay.

Diameter = 619mm
Your diameter = 655.32
