With that much camber you shouldn't be rubbing, then again...what is your offset? Really hard to tell without knowing the rear specs.

I would rub alot on the inside, turned out my springs were compressed too much. If you jack up the car or put it on the lift, look to see if the tire hangs or the gap between the tire and the fender stays the same or approx the same. If its approx the same, your springs are compressed too much and it needs to be adjusted. Your next alternative is to hammer the inner fender well.

Where is it rubbing? Because if you dial in less camber, you'll have the issue even more if it's where I think it is.

Here is where I was rubbing because the springs were compressed way too much, now I hardly rub unless I have a full load or there is a steep dip.

you need these wheels to complete your aggressive VIP theme:

I cant think of another G35 that could use these... but they fit the style you are creating...

maybe its not a good idea then...

I think they would have looked better on donpisto... but I'm not sure a look-alike wheel is a good idea (too unique a wheel to copy-cat)...

Yeah, I def need to changed it up..I was leaning towards going with that type of wheel for my next setup. Depending on what I do I may go back down to 19's so I can get a lower offset, unless I can achieve the same thing with 20's.

hmm, i never checked there. I think my car might be rubbing right there as well. My rear wheel is 19x10.5 with +22 offset.

What do i do if my springs are too compressed? if i jack up my car, it probably show about a 3" gap.

Yeah, mine had virtually no gap. If it's compressed too much I'm not sure, it's basically the adjusting rings that need to be modified...whichever ones were used to adjust the height, then its actually the opposite one to do so...but then again I have true coilovers, so I don't know how that would work with your setup since you mentioned you have tein CS...what do those look like in the rear? How many rings?

One thing I can suggest is to contact swift or Eibach and have them make you some new springs with custom spring rates. I think it would be like 80 bucks each.
