And I would hesitate to use space between the wheel and the frame or fender as a guideline of what is possible because the wheel moves. In particular the finger in the lip picture seems fine to me because of that curve. If the wheel was out more it would probably rub pretty hardcore if the car was actually driven.
Point well taken. I think we're going back to the drawing board, actually measuring and going with the best option at that point.
