Default EG 205/50/15 are rubbing...need help

I have an eg with some 2000 si rims with 205's in the rear. Has 2000 shocks back there with some tein s lowering springs. Ends up that the tires are rubbing agianst the quarter panel rear fender wheel lip and is starting to chip under the lip and starting to crack right at the edge of the of the wheel whell and am going to need to get it repainted there. My question is does other people have problems with rubbing issues on 205/50's on their eg's? Maybe the 2000si wheels are a different offset. Need to get this problem fixed before I fix the paint agian. I plan on rolling the fender lips in to help out. Any feedback or solutions would be apprechiated. Kinda want to keep the current suspension, it lowers it enough and rids very nicely.

i ran into this problem only once i put my new azenis's on recently they are 205-50-15. Well you can do two thing, raise the ride heigth or set the camber negative a few degrees. or you can get different offset wheels but thats not a logical solution.

Keep in mind.

Different brand tires for some reason are meatier than other.

What brand tires are you running.
Last time I check the s-techs don't really lower your car much.

Is it rubbing with weight in the back seat ?
