Default Rear tires rubbing

I have a set of work vsxx. They are 17x9 +35 in the rear with 235/45's. My problem is they are rubbing and need to figure out how much camber I need to dial in and should I have to roll my fenders. I have maybe a finger gap between tire and fender.

Thanks in advance!

I'm surprised you haven't warped your rear end yet.

Rolling fenders is a must. Have camber adjusted to about a -3. If this is still a problem go with a 225 tire. Expect occasional rubbing even with this setup. Silentdancer should be of more help here though.

I have 18x9 +43mm with 225/40/18 Toyo's, -3 degrees camber and tucked fenders with max drop on Bilstein PSS9's and it barely clears.

What he said

Why are you surprised, your running rediculously low offsets?

You will probably need rear over fenders.

just roll/pull your fenders....and don't forget to cut the rear bumper tab either. I'm running 17x9 +44 with a 255/40 tire with -2.5 camber and it doesn't rub. Actually, I can stick my finger between the rim and fender when my suspension is compressed.
