I don’t want to throw a monkey wrench in your wheel but I ran 15x8” rims with 235-70R-15” tires for the last four years before I added disc brakes to the front last fall. The rims had a 3-3/4” back set so the rim stuck out on the front 4-1/4”. There was no issue with the rim hitting the tie rods.
There was an issue with the steering feeling a bit squirmy around turns which I attribute to the rims sticking out too far. The new rims I’m buying are 15x6” with a 3-1/4” set back and plan on using my existing tires for now. I suspect they still be tough to turn when parking but will track much better.
