Rear tire alignment

Hello, I own a 2008 Nomad 1600,..........is there any alignment on the rear tire?
I'm asking because I am running the Dark Side and I have some feathering on the right outside edge of the tire!
Thanks.

Rear tire alignment

If you have the spacers all installed correctly there is nothing to align when you install the rear wheel. Could it possibly be the tire deflection causing it to touch the swingarm during cornering?
Running lower air pressures can cause that to happen.

Nothing touches!!!!!!!!!!
Low air pressure has to be it.
My next dark side will have more air, I was running 33 lbs on this one.
Thanks man.

I got rid of it when that happened, I could feel it when I cornered.
