Tire rubbing
I'm rolling on volks te's with stock shocks and Tiens s tech . I never thought to check the alignment so when I drove the car, it burn the paint off my rear fender. Long story short , got alignment and rolled the fender. My problem is that it still rubs. Rims are 18x9.5 +22.... Someone help

You left out the tire size
Tire size plus offset is what is needed to help understand where your set-up is at
The +22 is very tough to get to fit w/out taking on some of the more aggressive rear fender mods
I would have told you to stay clear of anything below +25 (Stiffer springs, more camber is not the way to get wheels to fit)
My opinion only

the stock rear camber spec is less than -1 i think, which is a)not enough b) never gonna fit those wheels.
my track day alignment is -1.5 in the rear...although it may have given me too much rear end stability...but that being said, going up to -1.5 may help you.

Just washed your numbers through the calculator. Your wheels stick out .31" more that mine. My tires are much larger (275/40/17).
Im rolled, pulled, bumper bolt relocated & a few other things to make the fit. The 235's help for sure but your fenders need more work
Here's the pic I live by. If your wheel/tyre assy cant do this then it just dont fit

Its possibly going to cost you more money to change your suspension set-up than to just use a different set of wheels.
Please take a picture of the rear fender roll. I have a feeling they didn't roll the fender enough and that is why it is rubbing.
