I upgraded rims to 19 inch, 19x9.5 in the rear. When i bought tires i accidentally went with a high offset so they hit the fender when i go over bumps.
Reading around I understand that lowering your car adds camber to the wheels. Could my wheels possibly be cambered enough on the HR super sports to actually stop the rubbing?

Assuming you do nothing else but change the springs, the answer is NO. As a matter a fact, it'll be WORSE.

offset is a measurement on wheels, not tires. U can sometimes stretch ur tires to get some clearance if that is what u mean, but offset is built into the wheel, search on google for more info. Post up what wheels u have and what offset and I can help If you have 19x9.5 in rear what do u have in front. what tires and what size tires. what offset is in back and in front. all this is info I need otherwise cant help ya
