There shouldnt be any rubbing if people would just install tires of the right size and of the right offset in relation to their drop.

Toe is the direction that your tires point if you were to think of them as a vertical plane along the y-axis and its neg/pos values being in relation to the z-axis with x-axix representing 0.

Well I already took it to get aligned and they stated I needed some cambers. Remember that I already have uneven tire wear. So now what? If cambers wont help and they already adjusted the toe what can I do to fix it at this point?

Um... obviously not if taking out the negative camber causes them to rub. But then Im just crazy since I dont like to run around with 17 or greater size rims. Not trying to be a dick but come on...blaming a camber kit for the rubbing because the only way the rim/tire fits is with some neg camber is silly. But whatever the case a little negative camber never hurt anyone its the toe that will eat up tires quicker than shit.
