Jack up the rearend of the car and put jackstands on the axle housing one on each side about 6-8in from the diffrential,so that it compresses the suspension just like it would be if it was sitting on the ground.
Cut a piece of cardboard out about 15in in diameter,cut out holes for the studs and the hub,put the cardboard on just you would a wheel. For example if your wanting to run a 15x8 then 8in will be the total width of the rim. So you want about a 2.5in lip on it so that leaves about 5.5in to go on the inside of the rim.
So measure 5.5in in from the edge of the cardboard.take off the E-brake and put the car in neutral and spin the wheel while holding the tape measure to the edge of the cardboard to make sure it clears everything.

basically you're simulating a wheel and measuring at the same time.
