depends on the type of suspension you plan on running and how many "large" friends you may have in the back.

With suspension on the car the tire usually gets sucked in as you lower it.

On the outer edge we get about 1/4" of clear space during mock up, but when all is said and done we end up with 1/2" of clear room. Can't explain it but it seems to work for us. I always get as much room as I can inside, that will hit the most during articulation.

Example:
