Sear's job was to get it into spec. If they can not get it into spec they should get it even on both sides so the tires will wear down at the same rate. It looks to me like they did their job and its perfect.
you modded the car and your not happy with the proper alignment because you want a custom on is not a valid reason to tell them to fix it. You should pay for another alignment but in most cases they will fix it for you to shut up.
Lots of factors plays into this. The dips you hit might of rubbed on the old setup and you didn't know/noticed. Your tires are new so obviously taller. new tires are 10/32 of tread VS worn down 2/32, that 8/32 could be the part that is rubbing. lastly you added more positive camber so the rears are more close to | | than \ \.
Something you didn't tell us are wheels your running and size. I had issues rubbing on 350z springs all around on my AWD sedan but that was because i had WIDE rims, lower offset and 265/40 tires. On stock wheels 215/55 or RWD 225/45 and 245/45 you shouldn't be rubbing, now if you put spacers and etc you can rub.

wrong!
Sears did a bad job of letting their customer drive away with a car that now rubs, that didn't before.
Sears adjusted the alignment to what they thought was best. Shouldn't a test drive been done prior to returning the car to the customer as well.
I agree with the new tires tread.
agree here.
OP your back to square one by raising. And if you roll your fenders make sure you find someone who knows what their doing.

Roll the fenders
a simple solution would be to get someone who knows how to roll fenders. (Tool is like $50 on eBay) and takes a little finesse so you don’t get bulges and or chip paint. A nice balance of heat a pressure but this I something I would look into doing. Ask an automotive buddy if they may have a tool. Good luck!
