Rear tire rubbing aftert alignment

is it a good alignment? camber kits? pics?
probably don't have enough negative camber to clear or your fenders need to be rolled.. that and the wheels are probably too big lol
^yup
I have use the suspensions and rims last summer. Didn't change any adjustments!
yeah but when they did your alignment, they probably adjusted the camber accordingly.. which is part of an alignment, along with adjusting your toe after.
Positive camber = wheel sits more vertically. Negative camber = wheel sits more tilted, with the top closer to the middle of the car than the bottom.
Usually, a drop of less than 3" or so will only change alignment settings by a couple of degrees at most (usually less I think). It doesn't seem like much but it is a lot, especially for toe. They probably re-aligned the car back to OE specs which may have been enough to cause your tire to start rubbing on the rear quarter panels. Looks like you may have to roll the fender or take it back and have them dial in some negative camber.

could of rolled and pulled your fenders instead
Still didn't solve the problem,But its only rubbing on right rear side!
time for a roll and pull then, and then you can go back down too
Went to , the body shop charge me ,150 to just cut the rear fender
I use the same Camber last summer there were, working fine.
Look at your alignment sheet with specs and adjustments that were done, camber mostly. That might explain to you what happened during alignment and why you are rubbing now.
You either need to roll your fenders, go back to running slightly more negative camber or get smaller wheels.

dont cut it. You can rent a fender roller really cheap. or just use some hand tools and slowly work it flat. then look into the phone book fender pull. its really easy.
