Control arm Question to fix Rubbing 20x9.5 +35 255/35/20

I'm looking to fix my rubbing issue so I want to put a little more negative camber on my back wheels until they will clear the wheel wells. Right now they are at about -2.5 and the side of the back tires rubs on the wheel wells when the suspension flexes. But it seems they only need to be put a tiny bit more on an angle to clear.

Can I do it with just the one arm here ? https://www.heeltoeauto.com/spc-adju...ua9-67545.html

Or should I go for the 3 piece set? https://www.heeltoeauto.com/spc-adju...ua9-67540.html

Two of the single arms is about 200 usd while two 3 piece sets is about 400 usd so im wondering if I can get away with just the one arm.

Any thoughts?

The fenders are not rolled. I know rolling them would likely fix the rubbing or at least help but I cant find anywhere around here to roll them and I don't want to roll them myself.

So thats why I am thinking of adding more negative camber.

I would recommend that you spend the time and get the fenders rolled. Excessive negative Camber will kill your tires quickly and that could get costly over time.

You have me seriously considering taking a day off work and making the drive to get them rolled. But the closest place I can find is some dude out of Cambridge who has a kijiji ad which doesn't exactly inspire a lot of confidence lol.

I figure the more camber idea would be fine since;

1. they really only need a little bit more of an angle to clear
2. I didn't pay much for these rims/tires so buying more tires in the future isn't a big deal
3. This car doesn't go far, ive owned it since feb 2017 and ive barely put 8,000km on it including a 1200km trip to Ottawa and back.

So im not too worried about the tires wearing out faster.
