I would add a little more negative camber to help avoid any tire rubbing. -.5 degrees is good imho.

Too much caster can result in a fair amount of jacking. I had quite a bit of caster with my Ridetech Tru-Turn setup and the steering joints were groaning when I turned the wheels. Those heims are not very forgiving of dust etc imho....

Already had some rubbing. Replaced the outer fender bolts with button heads and made some room with some hammer taps. No more rubbing

Add some negative camber for increased margin.
