Is this too close ?

I installed my Magnaflow dual exit kit a week a so ago I just want to make sure I am not to close to anything. On the passenger side extention pipe I am close to the spare tire, I can get my fingers in between the pipe and the tire but thats it. Is this far enough away ?

I have tried turning the pipes ect any way possible and this is as good as it gets, this install is on a 2008 F150 Lariat.

My tailpipes are both about a 1/2 inch from my spare, and I cut out my rear converters so my exhaust gives more heat than the average, no problems so far, spare tire is just fine.

yeah my spare tire and pipes are like that two and on boh sides, should be fine, take quite a bit of heat to wreck the tires and i doubt the tail pipe would get that hot
