Chainstay clearance with 28c tires

Got about 1.5 mm clearance on either side at best and thinking I may need to size down to 25c

With wheels tightened down sufficiently, should I expect any rubbing with the 28c tires?

Scrod....RiBMo question...

Currently running 28c...will I sacrifice that much on puncture resistence going with 25c?

28c feels a tad sluggish, so considering 25c.
