Nutted axle?

There's a trick to tightening those. You want to tighten the non-drive side halfway first just to hold the front-to-back position. Then tighten the hell out of the drive side. Finally finish tightening the non-drive side. Otherwise the whole wheel assembly tends to walk forward as you tighten the drive side and that makes the wheel rub.
