mine are kinda close too and have never been hit but i think its the backspacing of the rim

so i might have to put wheel spacers in ?
Change back spacing (with new wheels or spacers) or run high steer, I don't think there is any other way to fix it.

it doesn't look like there is enough clearence for those either.try the stick on weights they use on Aluminum wheels.
High steer moves the steering arm to the top of the knuckle so your tie rod end would be in a different spot. The clearance will depend on the design of the arm you go with.
they stick on the inside of the rim.
Nothing to worry about since the tie rod cannot physically move from it's location. Just use the stick on weights on the inside of the wheel. Obviously you'll need a wheel shop to rebalance the wheels and tell them to use the stick on weights and to also make sure they clear any portion of the caliper so they don't launch themselves when you drive.
