      Measuring for wheels/tires

      On a daily driven street car, what is the minimum clearance between the inner wheelhousing/frame and the tire. In my case, the 86 Cutlass, the frame is the closest point of tire contact. Would you say 3/8" clearance is enough or 1/2"? More? I don't feel easy running any less than 3/8".

      I have some tires I'm mocking into place and want to measure for my wheel backspacing.
