How low are you? I was pretty much at the lowest setting and the tires were barely clearing the fender. Then again it could be the guy that did the alignment did not know what he was doing. Once I raise the back and get the front camber kit I will do another alignment at a different shop. I should be able to get to factory specs at the new height.

Mine are setup even all the way around...

Mine measures 26" from ground to the top of the fender opening...dead center both front and rear. The fronts are as low as I want them and just adjusted the rears to be even. I still have the occasional issue with rubbing over a hard bump on the front tires.

I am also at 26" in the rear right now with a lot more room than what I had when it was lower. The height was between 24½"-25" when the shop installed the coil overs.

What is your front damper set to?

Don't know the exact, but had to make them pretty stiff so they wouldn't rub.

Also had to cut the little nub inside the wheel well and then bend the clip that is underneath it to help with the rubbing.
