The rubbing is not on either chainstay. It's on the brake bridge. They built them very very tight back in the late 80's. The disgusting part is, if the brake bridge was up a few mm higher and the horizontal dropouts a little shorter, I could probably fit 30mm tires in this thing.
To answer your question, though, my skewer is almost too tight. The powder coat paint is super, super slick and if I don't crank it down tight, it will slip. This is not the issue unfortunately.
