If you get crud stuck to tyre it will wear a groove in your chain-stay quite quickly.

You don’t need to pick up dirt. A loose spoke or broken spoke will quickly cause issues too.

It’s fine, if you ride perfectly clean streets. There was a guy on r/xbiking who made custom frames from old Ukrainian bikes, he does this clearance too. If you don’t get in muddy situations and know how to true a wheel and have strong rim and spokes, sure, why not.

Enjoy your first turn where you gotta put some force onto the outer pedal… if you’re noticing any rubbing noises, you’ll know why.

That’s going to rub just from cranking hard on the pedals.
