I have this problem with my hubs. I ended up spacing the carriers away from the hubs with washers where you bolt them on....but depends if they are rubbing on that side...ie you could make it worse.

Hmm, spacing the carriers won't help then!
You may have to get the angle grinder out on your carriers then...remove a bit of the inside face.
Try swapping the carriers over, ie drivers side over to passenger side...i found that gave me some more room on mine.
