Ive had coilovers on for two weeks now and have noticed that the tire is rubbing on the coilover. Would this be because of the camber of the rear wheels? Should i get a camber kit?

When the car is parked there is about 1cm between the tire and where it is rubbing.

Seems as if you need a little bit more of an offset. Have an engineer knock you up some spacers and it should sort you out.

The wheels are 16x7. There isnt to much camber but I did go for a fairly high paced run through the hills yesterday which i think may have caused it but im not 100% sure.
