It sounds as if very little side-to-side movement of your implement will cause contact with your tire. So you must have little clearance between lower arm and tire. Your best (and most expensive) bet would probably be the "Ernie-type" bent lower arms that would give you more tolerance between arm and tire. As someone else mentioned, turning the pins inward, if possible, would also help.

Is it possible that you are using the wrong implament for you tractor. I'm not sure if yours is a class one or a class two hitch. If you are using a class two implament on a class one 3 point hitch wouldnt it push the arms out closer to the wheels and couse this problem??.
Just my 2 cents worth.....

What is the distance between your lower lift arms? Standard spacing is 26" for cat.1, which your tractor is, and hopefully, your implements. As others have said, you can reverse your wheels, reverse the pins to face in, use spacers on the lower pins to maintain a max of 26" on the lower arms. That should take all the side to side play out and they should not hit the tires.
