A camber kit won't make you rub. A camber kit is made to give you more adjustability +/- over your stock camber arms. It sounds like you can't go more positive so arms won't really do you any good unless you want to go more negative. I would recommend getting toe bolts though.

Your going to want to get an alignment if you haven't already. Getting your toe back in spec is crucial to prolong the life of your tires, more so than getting camber into spec. What are the specs of your rims? tire sizes? Are you trying to achieve a certain look? Is getting back to OEM alignment specs a priority for you?

Not a knock on you but so many people drop first then worry later on about an alignment/the need for camber kits..etc. There's so much info on this forum that people should be well aware of what they are getting themselves into before they drop the car.

Have you already gotten an alignment to see how close to spec you are already? If you are dropped on sedan stechs (vs coupe/z stechs which will give you more of a drop) you should be able to come close to oem specs without after market parts in the rear.

You will be able to get close to OEM spec but not exactly back to stock. If you want to maximize the tire life, you'll need camber kits. If it was me, I would just deal with the camber wear by flipping the tires from side to side every few thousand miles.
