That does seem fairly small.  My car also had signs of rubbing.  There are shims available to get a bit more lift.  I do know that the stock clearance isn’t enough to get the fan belt off, so that at least gives you an upper target.

I have new round rubber mounts and had to shim them with some thick washers=
 to keep the fan extension off the steering rack. If I need to change the f=
an belt I=92ll have to lift the engine.
