Default Geometry skid plate angle question

We are in the process of going to an architect to design a new home. My question is , what is the LARGEST angle a driveway can be before it scrapes the bottom rocker panels or skid plate of a vette that is of stock height?

Max angle = arctan((height of front most lowest part of car)/(distance from wheel contact center to front most, lowest part of car))

Also make sure the architect knows actual people will have to move the fridge and couch and mattresses into the house hahahaha
