Any suggestions?
As I'm sure you've realized, its rubbing in the front and back because the parts used are the same.

How bad is the rubbing, I run standard TC tires so I have no idea.

The potential fix would be to buy wider hex hubs which serpent makes and are listed for the off road car. You will have a wider stance which appears to be opposite of what normal TC's are going with.
