Default 1" drop Guys!

Ok. I have an Eibach pro-kit on my SS. I think it is too low and want to raise it up a little. I don't want the stock 4X4 look but right now I can barely get 2 fingers in between tire and wheel well. For you guys that have 1" drops how much room is there in the wheel well (how many fingers)? If you have pics that would help. By the way I am running 17's with 40x17x275 front and back.

I think right now it is probably around 2 inches. Not sure though. I will post some pics when I get a chance.
