Default Tires rubbing Wheel well

Hello , i am having a problem with the right side tires rubbing the inside of the wheel well on my 2006 Gulfstream Amerilite, i have replaced all the tires and changed the leaf springs and equalizer but the tires still touch. i have measured the box and it is square. any information would be helpful.

First thing I would check is distance from inside and outside of wheel well to sidewall of tire on each side. next check to see if outside edge of rv is the same distance from the frame. ( might be square or even, but could be slightly off center). Since its rubbing inside you can always do a quick fix by adding a small wheel spacer to move wheels slightly outboard. One side only is needed since you wont notice any difference in ride or handling by adding a 1/4" or so wheel spacer.

Were you able to figure out what was causing your tire to rub? I am looking into installing some larger tires on my Amerilite 21MB to slightly increase the tire's load carrying capabilities but a problem such as yours is a concern for me...I wonder if I will run into a similar problem. When you replaced the tires did you go with a larger tire?
