Default S2000 fender rubbing

Hello, my s2000 rubs when going on hard dips in freeway or when pulling up into my driveway. Only my rears rub with the fender despite my car being lower in the front. I have 17x9 +38 wheels. With 245/40 215/45 tires. My fenders are rolled. I don’t rub when turning or doing U turns just when my car dips. I’m also running about -2.3 camber all around. I have tein flex z coilovers and have them stiff on the dampening dials. Rubbing on hard dips is understandable but I don’t understand why I rub entering a driveway. I can even go over speed bumps perfectly but my war completely squats onto the tires in the rear when entering a driveway.

how rolled are they? they dont appear very rolled in the pics. you can always get a flatter roll or more negative camber.

I think I’m going to go with the more camber option, currently im at -2.3, how much more camber do you think I need? I was thinking -2.8
thank you.

You're going to need around -3 deg of camber.

Use upper joints to correct it so that you're pulling the top of the tire in.

Are you sure its rubbing the fender? Is your bumper tab cut/moved back?

tmrw I’ll align it to -3 degrees, and yeah if I go to where my car rubs and get off the tire is pressed on the fender and no changes to bumper tab. Thanks for input!
