Lowered and rear fenders hitting tires

Lowered and rear fenders hitting tires
Guys I am having a similar issue. I installed Eibach Sport line and Eibach Shocks. Also added the Camber kit today to help with the wheel alignment. The body shop rolled the fenders and my rear tires scrub the fenders. I am looking for any one out here who can help with this. I have had this car in storage for over 2.5 years and now it's out of the shop after 3 months. I have a great body shop working on this but we can't fugure out the cause. A tire shop suggested riding cambered IN and that would clear the fender, but this will destroy the tire.
Please help with this issue if you can.... Pics below, what do you think. Also sitting on Axis Seven Mod 19"

What size tires and what are the specs on the wheels?
Its most like the bumper tab that needs to be trimmed, or the shop didnt roll the fenders enough.

I was having the same problem before some work (with a 235 tire). You need to see where the tire is making contact- use a piece of masking tape or something and see where it's rubbing and cut/grind your bumper accordingly. As civic said, about the first thing you're going to realize is the bumper tab is hitting so you'll need to relocate it further back a bit. I had to take an angle grinder to my bumper and basically grind out a relief space for the tires on bumps and stuff. Doesn't look pretty but i'm so slammed that no one would ever see it

I have 235/35/19 and the wheels are Axis Seven Mod 19x8.5. I am using the pro kit with Eibach springs as well, which I thought wasn't going to give it that much of a drop. My body shop guy also recommended using tape to see where it's hitting. I am also wondering if bump stops (Eibach) would make a difference. The last thing I want to do is camber my tires, and I know there is a solution out here. Thanks guys for the input. Keep it coming...

Whats the offset on the wheels?

You need to run more negative camber or run a skinnier tire.

Yea, Ive run the same size as well on 19x8.5s, but they were +40s. They were very flush, so an extra 5mm would definitely cause problems.
