will suspension help with rubbing?

does lowering with springs give a negative camber and will it reduce the rubbing?

You're rubbing with stock suspension?? If so I assume the specs of your wheels are really off.

To answer the question, if anything, it will be worst. Camber has nothing to do with lowering spring..it's just a common rule that when you lower a car, the camber/toe/cast is going to be off.

You can go in and ask for an aggressive alignment on a stock car, if you wish. That will make your camber more negative, resulting in more grip on the road and also faster tire wear.

it's because i have stock sport suspension, and i fitted with hamann HM2's with 8.5 width on the rims and i don't actually know the offset. the rears are running with 255/40/18 and they are rubbing, and i don't know how to stop them from rubbing.
