Wheel fitment problem

04 G35 6MT w/brembos. 20x9 Axis Shine wheels +15 offset. 245/35R20 H&R 1 inch drop. My problem is a tire rubbing issue. I have called Axis and apparently mine is the only G35 that has ever had an issue with this. As it is, the car is sitting with -2.1 degrees camber, and I can't put my camber kits in with this problem or my fenders will be destroyed. The only other option I have thought of is to elongate the lower control arm mounting hole and make a camber adjustment from the lower control arm, pulling the bottom of the tire inward rather than pushing the top out. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. I can put up some pictures later.

run the CORRECT tire size, 245/30/20 and you should have no problems. Your current tire is almost an inch taller than stock, which is causing your clearance issues

Yes, that would help, but still wouldn't solve my problem. The 245/30 would be the same width as the 245/35 and my issue is the wheel being too far out as it is. I would still have the problem, just not as severe.

no, the suspension cambers inward as it moves through the its travel, so it should not rub. 20x9+15 is NOT aggressive

I'm aware that the wheel cambers in as it moves upward. As it is, with -2.1 degrees it rubs. Once I put my camber kits on it will be BAD.
