Thanks...I had to fudge on the rear and the front is a little lower than actual ride height with the coilovers installed. The rear I moved the lower shock bracket to the bottom two holes. I'm not sure if that will work out or not. I certainly hope so because I don't want it any higher.

An easy way to get it level in your garage is set your jack stands up and put a level across them then you can use sheet metal or wood to use a shims. Then you can mark where you put them. Then put the car up and check your measurements from there. Also make sure to use plum bobs so you can make sure it doesn't move while you are taking your measurements and if you need to move or adjust stuff.

Wouldn't putting a level in the open door jamb on top of the rocker suffice? That's how I did it when I installed the quarters and built my rotisserie anyway.

Seems it would be difficult dropping plumb lines from the car without already having reference points with measurements.

I think it looks killer with the stance and full wheelwells , if you think it will definitely rub then I would say move the rear in a smidge. That would seem easy to do at any point if using spacers as you described.
I don't have facts or experience regarding the four link but it would sure seem that you could adjust the rear end back on the side needed...but if all links are equal lengths why are they producing such a different position?
Initially I thought of a geometry math problem when you posed the question. I would be tempted to draw out representative scenarios or make a popsicle or similar stick model... maybe on an inch to mm scale? Or just to play with if it is easier to adjust than the 4 link which would seem to be a given. Is each link adjustable in length? If so you should be able to move the wheel in any direction, how much before binding something is the question.
