Lower ball joints

That looks like about all it will do. The odds are zero it will open up, and it doesn't look enough to change the alignment if it closes any more.

if it went in on an angle with the splines on the ball joint it will be harder to straighten it than it would be to remove the ball joint and install it again. If the ball joint isn't sitting staight you may have problems installing the rubber cover

Yeah, 15X8's with 4.5" BS put the tie rod very close to the Wheel, but that doesn't have anything to do with the Ball Joints.

The B-Body spindles (and maybe even S10 Blazer spindles) put another 1/4" or so between the wheel/tie rod.

You can also grind down the tie rod a little for clearance at the contact point if the interference isn't too much.
