Sound likes you need to get some smaller bolts to go through the camber adjusters mate. So you have more movement to adjust the camber but your tyres will wear if you do. I've lowered mine 120mm and it don't rub at all :)

urmm your a bit f**k, what you can do is rent or buy an arch rolling tool of ebay or somewhere to roll your rear arches a bit or just get in there with a hammer and bend the lip straight or back over onto itself if you take the rear plastic arch trim off you'l be able to see what i mean, and dont be scared to use a bit of brute force with the hammer because at the end of the day its all covered back up again with the trim, camber shims are ugly fugly on the rear and can affect the handling i would say dont do it to the rear.
