Rear camber problem

I have a rear camber problem, the thing is that the right rear wheel cambers more than the other side. There is about an 1/2 inch less gap difference between the fender and the other wheel. I have found out through the alignment shop and the dealership that the rear camber is not adjustment. I experience some rubbing of the tire and rolled the fender on that side, I still experience some rubbing afterward. Less than before, but enough to irritate. I was wondering if anyone has ever had a similiar problem or can suggest a solution.

Would a camber kit fix it? And if it does, where could I find a good set, taking price in consideration.

If you had to roll your REAR fender somethings not kosher. What is the offest of the wheels? I've got staggered 19's 37 offset and lowered WITH a 10mm spacer on the rear and no rubbing at all. Even with a carload of people

You need adjustable camber arms. They're available in every grade from cheap/poor quality, to not cheap/F1 car quality.
