Still rubbing after fender roll
Setup: 19x8.5 255/40/19 Rear with 33 offset + 25mm spacer.
Problem: Passenger side rear still rubs after fender rolling.
Suspension: Tein S-tech Z specific.
I think its an alignment problem, it rubbed even before i recently installed the s-techs. I did an aggressive fender roll thinking it would solve the problem but still persists.
Can stock rear suspension be out of spec (stock range)?
UPDATES:
I went for an alignment the most the tech could give me was -2.0 camber on the rears.
Also here is a pix of the passenger side rear fender which i think its the part its rubbing.

is not cuz of the stechs or tire setup, i definitely think its my stock alignment...
But what i'm confused is that from what i've read stock has no adjustments what so ever, so how can my rear's be "out of spec" even before i installed the springs?

Your alignment is probably way off, get an alignment and see what happens. Yes there is two rear adjustments.

Are you running stock shocks?
Are you rubbing all the time or just when you hit dips in the road?
My rear tires have a 3/8" gap off the fender with H&R coilovers and I have no rubbing with 295/35/18 +20 offset. Even without the camber kit I didn't rub.

I also have a similar problem like on my passenger sidear rear after I rolled my fender. But most the time the rubbing happen only when I make a right turn into a upward driver way or into a plaza. My car also feel floatly when I try to push it after coming out from a turn.
Here is my setup: I am running 255/35/19 +17 offset front and 285/35/19 +18 offset rear. I have a rear camber kit only. The alignment on the rear is actually w/in factor spec. But my front aligment is slight off factory spec. So I wonder if it is because my aligment.
When I was running 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 w/o camber kit, I didnt have any problem. So I wonder if it is because my alignment is not balance or perhaps my shocks are done.
Can some suspension expert please chime in?

Not all cars are built perfect, or even close. Your fenders could be off as much as 1/16 or more from each other, and once rolled the number is even greater. Also your camber, if your really close to rubbing, just 0.1 degree could make it happen on one side and not the other.
