I have the same problem....looking for answers.
I just finished re-building my 10yr old klein with newer parts.
Using Shimano LX octalink cranks w/ XT BB (118 wide).
When I installed the crank (with rings) the small chainring was rubbing on the BB shell.
I backed it off a little, put on the chain and began to adjust derailers.
The chainrings were so close it wouldn't drop to lowest ring.
I removed then re-installed the crank and tightened just to the point where the chain would fall onto the smallest chainring, the rings still seem very close to BB but it works (at least on the stand).
The problem, other than it's still to close the BB, is I'm not sure how safe it is to ride with a crank only half-way inserted.
