wheel rubbing onto control arms

i noticed some really loud crumbling noise coming out from the rear of my car at the last autoX

i noticed that the inner rims of my rear wheels/tires were rubbing on to the control arms

anyone have this problems?

setup:
Jic coilovers
5zigen 15x7 wheels with +42(or 43) offset

look at my album for height

possible solutions:
raise car
alignment(might have toe-in the back)
new wheels with less offset


any inputs??

How bad is the camber? You might want to invest in one if needed.

Try spacers first, that should push the wheel away from the control arm...

and definitly get your alignment checked.
