Tyre Clearance Fox SC32 with Vittoria 29x2.35

[Op1]

Hi all,

I need some advice and guidance here. I installed a new tyre on my fox SC32 shock - One of the sales guys at cyclelab said that I could safely move up from the max 2,3 (supported by fox for this shock) to a 2,35. After installing the clearance on the sides are about 6mm per side and about 10mm on the top. pics attached for reference.

Let me know if this is safe to ride or if I should look at going one size smaller.

thanks in advance

It's not touching.... I'd ride it

So an update - If I fully compress the shock down i have about 10mm from the crown to the trye and about 11mm from the arch sides to the tyre. 

 

the only narrow portion is the lower leg(pointy bit) to the tyre which is roughly 6/7mm gap from the side to the tyre

You'd have to ride in some heinous mud for that to be an issue. I've seen far tighter clearances (admittedly rear wheel mostly) that have been fine.
