I'll take a photo when I've got chance to mount the rear and the lock rings arrive.
You are probably right, and the rear should be even tighter.
What's the general agreed gap that should be left?

Depends what you're riding on. On the road you don't really pick much stuff up on the sides of the tyres so you can get away with a couple of mm if your wheels are stiff enough. Off road though you'll need more and in the wet you might want a lot more.

That's still a pretty big tyre installed. Enough clearance for the dry I presume but if it gets slightly damp will you tear your fork in half?
