Default Tire help

So here's my dilemma. I am running 245 40 17 in the rear. I had rubbing running at highway speeds only. I have gotten. The tab relocated and just put -3 camber in the rear...now I'm rubbing worse! The car is dropped 1 inch all around on tein springs.

fenders are also rolled im assuming? what wheels are you on? i'm running 255's on AP2 V2s with saggy Espelir's and have no issues. I'm only rolled, no tab relocation.

do you have a lot of weight in the back (subs, sound system)?

It got worse after the camber change so I know the sub ain't the issue. I'm running Enkei Kojin wheels

This. 1" isn't a lot and with the camber I'm surprised you're rubbing in the rear. I'm guessing offsets as well. Also, what's the width of the wheel?

Got the fenders pulled. It works now. Only scrape when I hit a big dip at freeway speeds. Need stiffer sprongs now.

Yeah +35 offset doesn't work well on our cars. You want at least a +45. Look into swift springs, they offer a lot of variances.
