You can measure that yourself. Take a small washer and tie it to the end of a piece of string or thread. Have a tape measure handy and hang the string from the inside lip at the top inside of the quarter panel or fender. Then measure from the widest part of the TIRE to that string. I'd give .25" less that amount for clearance.

the string trick is a good one. Without knowing your wheels specs theres no way anyone here can give good advise.
I can say that if you had the wheels that i have (y2k thin spokes C5 wheels *OEM*) you could use 1" spacers in the rear (of course the bolt in type) and its spaced perfectly, but it looks like you have z06 wheels, and im not sure if they are OEM or reproductions, and what the backsacing and offset are.

And when you say 1" spacers is that using the factory size studs or do you need longer ones?
