yes. the rear tires rub on the plastic fenders. In other words... before it bottoms out, the tire ***** hit the plastic fender. seems like the rears stick out 2" to far beyond the fender well.

You are going to need to go to a smaller tire or lift the bike. You might be able to get away with some wheel spacers don't know if that will help thoe!

wheel spacers will just move the wheel further out. Right?

My wheels are already too far out causing them to rub the fenders.

True but depending on where they are rubbing this sometimes helps. Sorry as it was worth a shot!

The Bighorns do run tall. You could try airing the tires down a little bit and set the rear suspension to a stiffer setting until you can get a lift... think you'll need it.
