I've driven many different coilover set ups including BC and I can definitely vouch for Koni and Bilstein on the affordable damper list. Heck, even off the shelf Koni Yellows outperform 99% of the coilovers that people love to run and off the shelf BC isn't as auto cross friendly and definitely not daily driver friendly when comparing the two.
If off the shelf coilovers are your thing, FEAL, Fortune Auto, and KW are the only routes to get the most of your money.
I'm not knocking on BC. I know they can take a beating but I know that for the price, you could've done things right the first time and better stuff like Koni, Bilstein, Feal, or Fortune Auto. KW's are obviously expensive but they're good enough to save for.
But hey, you've already purchased them.
As for your wheel question, it ultimately depends on your wheel's offset + tire. I would suggest holding off on mounting them on the car because 1.) at best, they may rub the shock; worst case scenario, they don't mount on with stock style struts 2.) your alignment is going to be off and if you do get it aligned at that height, you're not going to have to get another alignment after you get the coilovers on
