Default Steering angle... tire rubbing compression rod

Hello.

I installed inner tie rod spacer for better steering angle.

But this thin spacer only, angle is almost maxed out.
Cause inner side of tire now rubbing the Compression rod.
(Not the bump stop. Actual compression rod)
I mean, angle is only about 40 degree. (inner outer +- somewhat since Ackerman)



My wheels are not so wide. 18*9 and offsets are +22 +20mm hub spacer(just fits outer fender line).
Tires also thin enough(235/45r18).
I saw some of videos that have same cheap spacer mod and none of those have this issue.

What do you guys think my problem? Is this normal?
