Gotta go with the guys on this one as well. Make sure that the tire is straight. There should be little markers by your swingarm/tire bolts, to where you can adjust them to the same mark. If that isn't it, maybe you have a spacer or something like that missing? It shouldn't ever be that close. I think I am nearer to an inch away or more. Good luck.
