Default tire clearance

How much room in general do you need to keep between the tire and the frame? My wheels have a 5 inch BS now and there is a 1/4 inch spacer behind it...there is about an inch or slightly less between the tire and frame rail...(32 x 14 stiff sw )
I didn't build the car...and you can see where the tire has rubbed the wheel tub at some point..but I don't know if that was with or without that spacer. The reason I ask is I am shopping for new wheels
