Fender Guitar Neck Adjustment

Guitar adjustment?
I have recently started playing guitar (trying to play). Guitar is inexpensive Fender Strat Squire, the strings seemed high so I lowered the adjustment on the body, may have helped some. Then someone told me about the neck rod, so, I tightened that to flatten it a little, that may have helped alittle more. I want to make as easy to fret as possible. I don’t have big fingers, but, I find it impossible to fret any single string 2-5 without touching the string next to it. Is there a minimun height the string should be from the frets, or can I just lower them down as far as I can go before the string starts hitting the other frets?
You can lower them until you start to get buzz, but unless you want to screw up the intonation, I would leave it to someone that is qualified to adjust it. The bridge not only has to be low enough to give you the “action” you want, but it also has to be right from side to side to keep the strings level and in tune at all points on the neck. Spend a few buck and have a pro set it up for you. You will be better off in the long run.
