You don't have enough negative camber on the rear. Sounds like i'm making something out of nothing but it's true. Negative camber in the rear makes ALL the difference.

Point of reference, I used to run 245/45-16 on 16x9 BBS ET+15mm with 14mm spacers. Effectively an offset of zero. They cleared the fenders with no problem. This is a '87 Carrera with no modifications to the rear flares.

So I de-modify the above car by taking off the rear suspension and I did not mark my alignment on one side of the car. So I eyeball the alignment bolts just to get the car rolling. I reinstalled a 16x8 BBS ET+11 with 245/45 tires. Forgot to take the spacer off & didn't get enough negative camber in the eyeball alignment. Tire rubbed the fender lip hard enough to slice the sidewall of the tire and also distort the fender lip. Damn...... So I remove the spacer and I still have clearance issues. Need to get the alignment dialed in back there so it clears.
