I've adjusted my bottom bracket over to get a perfect chainline and I have about 2mm of clearance on the driveside crankarm to the chainstain, and my left crankarm is about 8mm from the other chainstay.

Is this kind of assymetrical arm situation alright to have? Or any way to take care of it? I have an FSA platinum pro track bottom bracket, fsa vigorelli cranks, on a fetish position frame.

Thanks again
