    Welcome to the site \:D/

    It most likely is that you are using a O'Ring chain with a non offset front sprocket , the O'Ring chains are wider and will sometimes hit the chain if the slack is too loose , or if a standard sprocket is used

    So first things first

    Check that the Axle is adjusted squarely/evenly so as not to make the chain side be shorter than the brake side, this will ensure that the wheel itself is straight

    Make sure the chain is not too loose , as this will allow side to side slop (but do not make it too tight)

    Make sure that if the front sprocket has a offset , to make sure its sticking out not in

    If all is correct and it still hits , then just trim the side of the mud flap so it clears the chain (trim it to or just past the wear/cut marks) , it won't hurt anything and a lot of do it

    And...although I prefer to run a 120 width tire, they are not all the same width, and the stock 110 width is more predictably narrow enough to avoid this.

    Yes, I use xring chain and oryginal sprockets. The distance brake and chain side is this same, front sprocket is rotated, all is ok...
    Later upload photo, thanks

    Edit
    The original tire width is 140, in the manual
