If going staggered 17x8 front and 17x8.5 or 9 rear, would it upset the balance much?
Enough to notice at an AutoX, but not in daily driving.

There's more to it than sticking your finger in it
Well it was at full lock when I checked it. If we're talking about strut clearance, that's not going to change with a Macpherson strut design.

If we're talking about fender clearance, I had it at full lock to pull into the spot where I took the photos and there was no rubbing. The tires should be fine. I think nearly full lock and full compression might come close to rubbing, but I don't have a good way to test that and I'll rarely if ever encounter a situation like that.
