I mounted my new wheels yesterday and I got started today working out some of the rubbing in the rear. I heard a little rubbing in the front too, but less frequent. So after rolling and shaving the rear, all the rubbing was fixed. I turned my attention to the fronts, and while I see where I was rubbing on the fender liner, I noticed the tire looks dangerously close to the steering knuckle. I didn't see any marks on the tire from hitting it. Do I need to worry about this or does the suspension bouncing not affect this suspension component? Pics below to show wtf i'm talking about.
that looks scary close to the tire. it looks like it could touch and even rip the tire. but does the tire move with the whole assembly maybe it will not touch
Since the upper control arm pulls the steering arm with it as the suspension moves up and down, you should be fine. Looks OK to me but I hope a few other folks chime in to give you addtional comfort that there's nothing to worry about.
I know it's a tight fit back there but as long as your front wheels dont wobble you'll be ok. Things that would cause your front wheel to wobble would be a busted wheel bearing, loose axle nut
Yeah you should be good bro. Just watch the bumps at speed demon speeds. I needed further confirmation so after the fender roll, I went with 245/30/22.
I had 20x9 and +38 offset but I do have 225/35/20, i dont hear any rubbing or touching so I guess you should be fine. just get 15mm spacer like me to make it flush =)

Right you are sir, a lil spacer action wouldn't hurt at all
Like others have said you'll be fine. It all moves together so it won't hit. Now if you ever have to get the car towed on dollies expect the two-truck driver to b**ch about getting the strap between the tire and the bolt.
