Default OMG! STILL RUBBING! HELP!

I just put my rims on Thursday.

Rota Grid
Front 18 x 8.5 + 44 with 215/40/18
Rear 18 x 9.5 + 38 with 245/35/18

I have espelir spring about 1.3-1.5 inch dropped.

It rubs a lot(just rear). Front is fine.

So I cut my rear fender, but I think I didn't cut enough.

And I'm going to aligment shop on Tues. Beacuse it still rubs if I make hard turn.

Do you guys think there is no rubbing if I change my rear camber to negative?

Thanks

first of all what exactly kind of wheels are those? those are hot! What helped me on rubbing even more then rolling my fenders was relocating my bumper tab. That solved all of my rubbing issues when I had my more aggessive set up. Just look up how to do it or PM me and I will walk you through it, step by step. Gotta tell me what the wheels are and where you got them though!!

Relocate your bumper tab, roll your rear fenders and run some camber in the rear

I just did this today was rubbing on 25mm spacers on the rear w/ AP2 V1s, I did a moderate roll, then I relocated the bumper bolt 2" back, I then removed the plastic section connecitng the bumper to the quarter panel, and also trimmed the rear bumper wheel well to half a cm so that didn't rub.
