I have the same setup except I'm lowered. It used to rub when I had passengers in the rear, or going over dips in the road. When I got my alignment, they cambered the rear a bit and it doesn't rub anymore. What's odd is your on stock suspension, and rubbing. What's your tire size?

It says 15mm.

we just figured something out too, the shop that changed tires, put a 8.0 front onto the driver rear, and the 8.5 front onto the passenger front ,so that will explain the extremely strange tire wear.

If tire-rack could chime in on how much tire wear that could possibly wear the tires, I'm trying to get the shop to comp a pair of new tires. But having some ammunition like that would be awesome.
