Min. distance from the outer tierod to tire?

Long story short: I have 97 WS6 rims. I tried 2.25" spacers but they make the tire stick too far out. I put my rear (1.5") spacer up front to see if that would work. With the 1.5" spacer I have ~.25" between the tire and the outer tierod. I don't think this is enough. How much do Z rated tires flex?

That would be a very good idea... but I am lacking a set of spacers so it will be kinda hard.
