This video is very helpful, I think I will follow his instructions to fix the problem. I really wish the shop would have told me to save me this headache -_-
I'm not sure you're understanding. You can't just adjust the chain slack to pull the wheel back unless the chain is actually that long to do so. If you pull the wheel back to gain clearance, but the chain is now too tight, you'll be risking more damage in a variety of places (more chain wear, damaged output shaft on the transmission). That's why all the posts above are debating how many links to add to the chain if you really do want to make the chain longer and pull the wheel back enough to gain clearance.

Stop blaming the shop. This is a basic problem caused by you buying a tire that is way too large for your bike.
