Default wheel rub

i put 16" slipstreams with 205/45's and lowered my car. my camber is at about -1.3. what can i do to get rid of my wheel rub besides make my car higher? it only does it when i take turns at 20 mph+ or when im goin 10+ and hit a bump.

did you correct the camber? getting the wheel square to the body will help.. also you can roll your fenders.. kinda tweak em a little bit to get em to rollout and up.. polyeurathane bushings....
