I’m preetty sure 0.5cm of motor clearance is fine.

5mm is definitely NOT fine.

I’ve ran 8mm and it was an absolute disaster.

IMHO, for a street board, motor can clearance:

<20mm is a no-go
25mm is tight
30mm is acceptible
40mm+ is plenty

But positioning matters a lot too, depending on where the motors are relative to the wheels. Similar to this:

enclosure clearance

What’s an inch? In vehicle engineering, there is metric, and there is metric. Convert FUB to metric. I think it’s not. But it’s not solely based on clearance, it’s also based on how far from the wheels. See this

Also motors that are behind wheels seem to catch more debris than motors that are before wheels, in the direction of the forward roll.
