One side only? If so something is likely bent.

Is the end of the control arm bent? I know you said after the accident but this is the first I've herd of clearance issues with anything other then wheels when talking about BBKs.

nope, they are brand new, installed them after the accident (OEM one bent).

Have you had an alignment since the accident? What is your front camber like?

If it's rubbing that way, you have some massive front positive camber.

The LCA is set too short, or your coilovers are bent (assuming the top hats are set properly).
