How much clearance?

Hey guys! I might have a small problem. My rear wheels and tires are a touch to wide. I am going to modify the fender lip on the inside to give me a smiggin more clearance. My question is how much of a gap between the tire and the fender should there be to be safe? I think after i trim the lip a little i would have around 1/2-9/16" per side. Right now i have maybe 1/8" or less. I have a trianglated 4 link and the upper links have quite a bit of angle so i shouldn't get much movement of the rear end. Thanks

Josh

Re: How much clearance?

Josh,

I have a 1/2 clearance between the tire and fender on each side on the rear of my 56 and have not had any issues.
