Did you buy a longer chain as well? Dont know what standard gearing is on your bike but you adjust the chain tension by moving the wheel on an eccentric adjuster which will alter the effective height of the wheel and bring it closer to the hugger. You need a longer chain or a smaller tyre or rotate the adjuster through 180 degrees but this might mess up your steering as well.
