Does it make sense?

I also agree with you! I was just saying I've got closer clearance and haven't rubbed yet.

However if you were taking corner the opposite direction the tire may not be deflecting, but technicality the force will create a moment about the hub which would want to rotate the whole wheel closer to the shock.

I would assume that the wheel is strong and stiff enough where this deflection is virtually 0 though
If you take the corner on the opposite direction most of the weight should be on the opposite wheel so if there is no rubbing on the wheel with the weight there will be no rubbing on that one either

I was scared a bit first but then I took the wheels of and the struts were intact. I also have about 3mm clearance with the kosei 17-8 et42 with 245s all around
