The way to be sure is to lower your tire pressure a little and with the frame suspended in a work-stand spin your wheel. At speed your tire will expand slightly. If there is no rubbing then you are good to go.

The closer the gap is the more conscious you must be about dusting your tires with your gloved hand as you pass over debris or small gravel. You don’t want to risk trapping a sharp object that your tire picks up.
