What is the minimum clearance between the chasis and tyres of a car carrying trailer with twin axle and rocker.

Not worried about the shackle bolt as they are offset in 7mm. Was thinking between 10 and 15mm which should be enough for any flexing.

depends how tall a tyre you are using and also what size axles you are using..smaller axles will flex more obviously

on car size tyres 20mm minimum..on a taller tyre you can leave up to 30mm or more
