got alignment.....still rubbing

hey wonderin if i can get some advice/opinions

dropped my ek on neuspeed race...got alignment...front is doing perfect with the skunk2 camber kit.

did the washer trick in the rear (the shop did it for me) and for some reason...the rear left tire is still rubbing with the fender on turns.. looks like the left tire is closer to the fender than the right one..would that mean the camber is different on both sides?

and say i pull out a washer from the side thats rubbing...would that mess my up alignment? i should prob take it back to the shop if thats the case.

theyre really the same height as my 17's with 45 tires on. although the width for the 17's is 205. so i doubt with this rubbing problem im having with my 185 wide tires....that i will be able to put the 17's back on

what should i do.

like RJ said go back and tell them to fix it. adjusting the camber should fix the problem

ur 17s have 205/45/17? if so thats a little bigger than stock size, 205/40/17 is the right size for 6th gens.

As soon as the car rubbed i would have been back at the shop telling them they did not align my car properly and to fix it now!
