Geometry and clearance check

I've put together the rear suspension (and put a wheel on!), and I'm now looking at the suspension mounts. The first question is related to clearance. With the coilover in the expected place, there's maybe third of an inch clearance to the tyre. It doesn't change significantly in the range of the coilover, but is that a little too close?

The next question is a quick sanity check on suspension travel. At full extension the chassis is 7.5 inches off the ground, when it's on the bump stop it's down to 4 inches. Does that sound pretty much on target for a ride height of around 6 inches?
