Brian: Not yet. That's a one way street. On the top pair of eyelets and the lower bolt holes on the rack tabs, there's plenty of clearance between the rack & tire. The tabs are angled such that the rack moves forward as you utilize upper bolt holes. Scroll thru the photos on the NorCal - SoCal Rumble to see some close ups of the rack & mounting, especially Evan's photo of my Atlantis on the ground, sans rear wheel. Pretty good close up of the rack there & other places. Manny has a photo of the mojo hanging from the rack that may show the tab detail.
