shouldnt be touching the tyre but maybe very close as mine was,but make sure you have fitted it on the outside of the chaingaurd lugs as i have seen people fit thenm on the inside which pushes towards the tyre
or put some pics up as its fitted

lugs are the bits of alloy on the swingarm where the chaingaurd part of the hugger is fitted towards the back,but looks of on pics to what i can make out
