First, please write your posts with some clarity.
I would recommend that you install a camber adjustment kit on your car as it is in order to get a lot of negative camber. Negative camber will slant the wheel so that the top of the wheel in inward, kind of like that exaggerated cartoon drawing of a WRX at the top left hand side of this webpage, so it won't rub against the car. Positive camber is when the top of the wheel is outward; drivers who do autocross do this and want to make sure the tire contact patch is large when the car is going through turns. Most cars have a small degree of negative camber.

But beware that too much negative camber will make you lose traction. Just get a good camber kit and you should be fine.
