Are the dropouts okay? ie is it only rubbing on one side? That symptom could also be your wheel build, try a different wheel too.

I used to run 2.1 Maxxis Advantage and Crossmark on the back of mine on 717 (ie fairly narrow) rims.

2.1 nobby nic is what I used to use on my mk1 blur.

Used Kenda Nevegal 2.1 on xc717 on my 2003 blur

I wore through the chainstays on mine and towards the end had to hold the drop outs together to get the wheel in.
TLDR - Don't overdo the tyre size.
