guys i really need a helping hand.
Okay so my day started sliding out at 6am due to semi old tires.(im an idiot for driving on those tires) so i go out get new ones mounted on my 17x8+48 with dunlop direzza 215/45-17 rota install them to find a non-stop rubbing in the front and SUPER negative camber in the rear(stock was the same..cause of my bald tires). Previous to installing the wheels i got an alignment, and from searching i was planning on getting them to adjust my camber. Needless to say i guess they didn't want to do it?..or maybe they didn't know how. so now Im with $150.00 tires getting ridiculous camber wear already. And a contant rubbing. YES i am slammed. i would love to keep it that way, and space out the rear wheels. heres where the stance is as of right now.
What can i do about the camber wear? should I adjust it? and how do i go about doing so?
Should i pull out the fender liner to ROLL my front fenders?
THANKYOU EVERYONE for your assistance. its really appreciated.

are they 17x8 +45 all around? even up front you shouldnt rub without a roll. roll the fronts and rears and prob relocate the bumper tab just to be safe. and any alingment shop should be able to do your camber. with the roll and stuff you shouldnt have to run that much camber
edit: what kills your tire wear is your toe. with your toe zerod out it shouldnt be too bad. plus once your fenders are rolled you wont have to run as much camber to worry about rubbing

Its really hard to read/understand your post but I'll chime in...
SO the pic you posted, are those the wheels you are rolling on?
You said you have 17x8+48 with dunlop direzza 215/45-17......Is that just the front? Or is this front and rear?
Answer that and we(forum) can try and help out

Before you do any modifications to you car pls read up on it before you go on with it...
Slamming your car Isnt as easy and just cutting the springs, theres a bunch of mods/thoughts that should go through your head...If you read and thread on lowering your car, you will run into two main things: camber and rolling/flaring the fenders
WOW 215 in the rear is ALOT smaller than the stock tires.....Having a less of a contact patch to the floor will make your car corner and handle worse that a factory speced car
To answer you question about the rubbing in the front you need to roll the fender and trim the liner. If you plan on spacing the rear then roll those fenders as well as relocating your bumper tab.
Once your roll the fenders Then you can take it to an alignment shop. Drive around and see if there is anymore rubbing. If there is then the camber needs to be adjusted(negative). With your offsets(conservative) your prob dont need a heavy offset
If the shop did not want to do your camber job then go to another shop, preferably a place that only does alignments or a performance shop.
Hope this helps

you have 215 all around? way smaller in the rear! you know your stock wheels are 17x7.5 in the front and 17x8.5 in the rear right? your stock tires sizes are 215/45 up front, and 245/40 in back!
