Is this enough wheel clearance?

Default Is this enough wheel clearance?

I want to run my ap1 wheels with slicks but do you guys think this is enough clearance between the lower tie arms? It doesn't seem to rub when I turn the wheel but will it flex or move and hit?

Just wanted to ask if these wheels will work before I go ahead and order some new m/t slicks

Lol I havnt moved the car I just was wondering if the wheel flexes enough to touch. I've seen people who cabt fit credit cards between their wheel and caliper before and they don't have any issues?

All you could do is drive it around the block and see if it hits or whatever. Go over some bumps slow/fast, and try to make it move/etc ??

New one for me, never seen it that close before.
