that is not a question that cannot be objectively answered. You have to be able to determine that for yourself with the suspension choices that are available based upon your budget, use, and type of roads that you have.. You then have a time of trial and error to adjust to your liking.

This. And I doubt you can avoid scraping or worrying about speed bumps if you want to eliminate wheel gap. I'm on Koni/GC, 450f/350r, no gap in front, about 1 finger gap rear, I'm only dropped like 2" and I scrape on most speed bumps and what not if I'm not going .5 mph

You probably mean:

'that is a question that cannot be objectively answered'

or

'that is not a question that can be objectively answered'.

Sounds like u want the impossible, a lowered car without the shortcomings of a lowered car.
Good luck.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say 1" is about right.
