Default fender rub

I am trying to find solutions to prevent front fender rubs. Every time I take hard turns, or turn from parking ledge angle while leaving from the front. Im guesing its the camber problem. If it is, is it the upper or the lower adjustment kit that I need. I need help on this fast. Its getting to the point that the front inner splash guard (the top center area), is competely rubbed out. any solutions out there? I have: 95' Honda Civic w/ Konig 17" w/ 17x 40x205 tires. Suspension type: Koni adj. w/ Ebach Pro kit.

if you are adjustable (coilovers?) just raise it a few turns. do you have a strut bar yet? it will minimize the roll and possibly stop rubbing that way. what did you mean by camber problem again? have you lowered your car and not done camber correction? if so then tsk tsk forshame, start there regardless, the improved handling after corrected is great

it will only help if its only hitting on the edge. basically, youre bending the little flat part of the curve up so that you have more room for tire. if youre looking perpendicular at the wheel, its a little part that goes flat away from you on the inside of the curve of the fenderwell.
