Default For you "HellaFlush" stanced people, do your tires rub?

I just want to know if everyone else out there who is slammed has constant tire/sidewall rub issues. I am at -3 camber in the rear with my stiffness at max and shit rubs when I make left or right turns. Straight is all good (unless a nasty dip I cant dodge). I am not quite sure what is left that I can do. Yes, logically I can just raise the car back up, but that shit looks like ass.

So is the sidewall rub just something to deal with and ignore? Only other thing I can think of doing is keep raising the spring nut to compress the son of a bitch so it doesn't allow as much body shift.

I am trying to keep this as a at home fix. I could probably put a 225 or 215 on my 9.5s instead of the current 235 stretch. But that is money I don't feel like spending. My fenders have all been rolled as well.

Thoughts? Yes, I know, trendy shit is trendy.

So this is really a "just ignore it cause it is not going away"?

It does not bother me, I just wanted to see if everyone else is constantly having to deal with it as well.

96 celica. 9.5+23, -3 camber, rolled fenders with a bit of a pull, 45 series tires (probably where I went wrong)
