I don’t think anyone said they automatically hit the calipers (unless I missed the post) but offset is very important for steel rims to ensure the back spacing is correct for your car.

I would agree nothing is wrong with steel rims short term but with our winters and driving on them for half the year on a newer vehicle not made for that unsprung weight is asking for unnecessary suspension wear, break pad wear and personal feelings wear (because your vehicle looks like ####)
