I have seen these all over the place on Group 4 cars, and I suspect there is no real "should" factor. If you are running low suspension, then you need enough room for the tire to tuck under the lip. I have seen some too narrow and it really looks funky with the fenders way out there. Wide seems to have the best appearance, but too wide and you risk tire rub on the fender and at that point it is getting a little low rider appearance too. I don't know if there is a mechanically correct measurement though. My rear tires are about 1" in from the fender, measured at the top.
