The back inside part of your front tire rubs on the inner fender well. I don't have nice low offset rims so I don't know if it rubs on the outer fender or anywhere else but I don't think it should.
If your car is low enough, your wheels are wide enough, and you are going fast enough, the tire will rub the fender. The result will be a plume of smoke (liquifid rubber) which will turn into solidified bits once it cools. This is my outside tire rubbing my fender under compression while drifting...

You shoudl have gotten S14 JIC rods and S14 Kazama endlinks. They are thicker (thus beefier) than S13 ones. Whats the good of a big thick tie rod if it still has to taper down to the size of the S13 threads? Luckily Tein knows this so they only make S14 sizes.
