Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Without the tensioner, and with the previous chain length the chain was too long, I took out 1 link and it's too short now. If I have that extra link and push the wheel back, the tire rubs the fender, if I remove it and tension it, it rubs the frame
Maybe move the wheel all the way back, and see if you can attach the rear fender brace to the axle, rather than the frame? Looks like it may give you a little more fender clearance? Just "thinking out loud"
