I run a 2.125 tire and it barely clears the tire, but it does. I use rear axle tugs (axle tensioners) to align and put tension on the wheel/chain, then I can tighten down the axle bolts. It used to take two people to align and tighten the back tire before, but not any more! My chain has not come off since this install. Plus, it did solve my chain rub issue. I don't use the chain tensioner that came with the kit. I don't use one at all... I did purchase a good #415 chain, which helps alot (not much stretch, after several rides).
Smaller tire would be the answer, but axle tugs will allow you to adjust the rear wheel (left, or right) a little, so maybe it will clear with the bigger tire... They are sold for single speed track bikes and BMX racing.
Good luck
