raise your car to -40mm, it will look better and wont cock up the handling and wont rub

Does seem strange how its scrubbing, I can understand on the front but not the back. I have the rear spring adjusters out on the rear so it must be around -80mm and can have 5up and still wont rub.
Are you using spacers or something

Get yourslef to a tyre garage and get your tracking and camber done.

Do what was already said and remove the plastic arch trims, grind off the bolts and stick the plastics back on with adhesive

yes, uniroyals do tend to rub a bit more than other tyres. id prefer uniroyals with a proper ride height than toyos and down stupidly low anyday.
