First off...very nice wheels 
My intention with the following statement is in no way meant to bash you. But if the wheels/tires are still lined up the same as in your latest pictures, I dont' see how you can get around without rubbing. Your tire is sticking out passed your fender by at least 5mm...unless you're running super stiff suspension...it looks like it would rub for sure on dips and hard turns. I'm not driving it tho, so I coudl be completely wrong
I'm going off of the rear wheels in this picture:
This is my current setup:
My tire/rim is not sticking out passed my fender (which is cut, bolt relocated, rear bumper cut)...yet i was still getting rubbing until I recently increased the camber.
If you want more camber, you're going to need to lower the car. You're only getting -2.x cuz of the ride height. Lowering more = more clearance. Sounds totally contradictory tho doesn't it
Wheels look great tho man

They were super tucked!!! but it threw out my toe in the rear. I will be changing my camber settings and I am running a track setup on my KW v3's its stiff but not too stiff
. Actually I dont rub too bad at all except for the driver front which I have to roll and flare now thanks to some spirited driving in down town atlanta and our crazy pot holes 
it took some nasty cuts into the tread but nothing to substantial as I fixed it with a thick painters stick till I can borrow a s2katlanta member's roller to do my front fenders. Rears are just high enough to barely touch on crazy pot holes at speed. Trust me it will all be tucked by year end with flared fenders

Say bye bye to your nice paint as you sandpaper it down with road debris and gravel. There's a reason why tires usually fit INSIDE a wheel well.

I am sooo with you!!! like I said before I have to replace my rear toe bars! I had it lowered and LOL @ -2.5 degrees the fenders were sitting on the edge of the sidewall just above the rim...
