 I had the same problem. I was instructed to use shim stock to tighten them
 up, by Carsten at Lancair. I have installed the shim stock and they seem
 tight. I have not flown yet.

<<As per Jim Scales and Bryan Burr,I also have a problem where the gear
 leg
fits into the receptacle. I can move the bottom of the gear both in and
 out
and back and forth approx.1/4 "I have no problems at the axel or axle
 mount.
The tires are wearing on the inside as yours. Both gear are same. I have
 140
landings at this date.

One thing that works on Cessna gear legs is to work shim stock in the gap.
I've not done it myself, though, so I can't offer any helpful hints.  I
don't think I would touch a welder to the gear leg as it is a highly
stressed, heat treated element.
