The wear on the edge of the tire is likely due to the spacers rubbing against the fender, yes. But I doubt switch over to the H&R style likely isn't going to make any difference, unless you're able to see that the added .25" will make much of a difference.

Still not really sure if I want to do this, but maybe. I'm leaning towards the H&Rs now. The tires don't rub normally, but when I hit dips in the road, or go across an uneven surface, they rub. Horrible scraping noise as the tire tread grind over the inside fender. I did notice one side also has a sharp edge on the metal and besides leaving rub marks is starting to shave the edge of the tire. This is happening right on the edge, so maybe the H&Rs being a little smaller might do the job. Otherwise I might look into the rolling idea.

Also, the reason yours do not align with the hub of the wheel is because they are not hub centric, but in fact lug centric. One is really no better than the other unless you've got issues with the rim being out of balance.

Wouldn't the H&Rs be both, hub and lug centric? No vibration that I can tell of a rim being out of balance, just that wear on the front end which I'm thinking if more of an alignment issue.
