That may help if you can't find the problem. Something seems to be off. I don't have BC's but most of the coilovers I've seen when lowered all the way will tuck the tires into the wheel well.

Make sure you get it corrected, you could damage the seals in the coilovers and will have to have them rebuilt, good luck

Some very good suggestions here. Also note that due to the height of the springs you may have to have them under slightly higher pre load to get to the minimum height adjustment, effectively reducing the suspension travel of the coilover as to not rub the wheel in the fender liner.

Also sounds like some stock prices were put back in with them. I have about a 2 finger gap between the locked rings on mine and have even wheel gap all the way around the fender/wheel.
