Default Rubbing issues with 17X9 +40 stock height

I just put in some17X8.5 +50 front and 17X9 +40 rear (255/40/17 )at the back and its rubbing like hell on the freeway. I thought running stock suspension will give them a lot of space, and therefor will not rub ( I do have Swift sway thou) ..... So Will negative camber eliminate this issue?

If yes, How much negative camber will be require? Coz the rear is sticking out a lot...

Thanks

Ur rubbing on the tab and part of the rear bumper has to be trimmed.

Cut the rear bumper and roll your fender. Its to aggressive even for stock body since the suspension is soo soft.
