W201 steering rod end alost touching the wheel

I just realized upon lifting my car, to replace the exhaust, that my steering rod ends are too close to the wheel. They are 1 mm away from touching it.
I had them replaced and aligned two years ago. Drives well and straight. The wheels look normal from the outside.
I have the original 7” wide sportline alloys with 205-55/15 tires.
Is this normal?
