Default Tire gap to lip/inner tub

So my Rushforth Rated X arrived!!!!! Pix and updates to follow real soon....

I got them all mounted, and am getting everything mocked up to measure for the Dana 60...... Frank I hope to be giving you a call this week to order

So getting the rear wheel all centered in the back.....whats the recommended gap from tire to inner tub? and to the lip?

I havent rolled or cut my outer wheelhouse lip, and as of right now I may not need to. It looks like I have plenty of vertical height to sink the wheel deep into the tub and not have to have it far inside of the lip

I seem to remember someone saying they recommend 3/4- 1 inch... does that sound about right?

That way as you go up an uneven surfaces and one end of the rear goes up, the top of the tire doesnt arc inward and hit the tub.

So all you "Wheel and tire experts" and pro-shop fab guys....when you do the mock up, what do you shoot for?
