I don't see how adjusting the tie rod ends will change anything except the centering of the steering wheel.

As you are planning on replacing the bushings, you should try offset bushings, these move the top a-arm forward, but the lower back to gain caster, so they rotate the hub around a more centered axis, where the upper ball joint shims just move the upper ball joint forward.

His tire is likely rubbing the fender when the steering rack is at its end point.  If that is the case then adjusting tie rods will certainly have an affect on the tire rub problem.
