Default Chain rubbing rear tire

hey guys, my first build, the chain is rubbing the rear tire which forces the chain off the rear sprocket. any thoughts on how to remedy this without getting a new tire?

How is it rubbing the tire? your spokes should stick out further than the tire, and your sprocket should be as wide as your spokes. Pictures would help, but you might try taking your rear sprocket and turning it around so that it is concave when you are looking at it.

yeap my bets are that you installed the sprocket flipped with the dish facing inward.
would you be able to eat your supper if the waiter slammed your plate upside down on the table?
