That actually looks pretty good with the 16".

Though, I might be partial to the "Racing Hayashi, Panasport type rims" since my NA Miata days.

Need some help guys. So I took my car into my local shop, Speed Element, and had them do my alignment and height adjust. We decided that the car looks good with a 1 finger gap.

The issue I am having is with rubbing, even with ridiculous amounts of camber...
My current setup

Tein Street Flex Coilovers
SPL LCAs
Volk TE37sl 18x9.5 +40
Michelin Pilot Super Sport 265/35/18

Current camber f/r: -2.9,-3.7
Caster front left: 5.3
Caster front right: 6.1
Front toe: 0
Rear left toe: 0.12
Rear right toe: 0.09

We did a fender roll as well as cutting the tab in the rear fender yet I am still rubbing... Can you guys with similar setups go into detail on what you guys did to make it where it doesn't rub?

Why so much camber in the rear? I ran the exact wheel spec with 255/35 rs3's, same ride height with only 2* camber and never rubbed.

That's what they said I needed in order not to rub but I am still rubbing :/

Have you taken off the wheel to check where it's rubbing? I'm almost certain it's not rubbing on the fender because there's plenty of people running the same spec wheel/tire at approx. 2* camber without problems, including OP.

Ditto. I'm guessing it's rubbing on the inner fender liner. I have -3.2* rear camber on 9.5 +38 and 255/35 and it only rubs inner fender liner on hard, sudden bumps. I am tucking tire and there's some room between the fender and the tire still as I have not rolled the rears.
