In my case I forget how much clearance I had, I sold that car almost 20 years ago. Didn't have an issue out the outside, just the inside of the tire and it kissed just enough to rub a shiny spot on the leaf spring edge. But I doubt it was 3/4" clearance on the inside.

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
