Hmm, I'm surprised your don't rub the strut, but do rub in the rear. For sure that's what happens with rear rubbing, occurs at speed with rear weight/passengers. I even went to a lightweight battery and no rear seat to help my rear rubbing.

That's my favorite tire but it does run wide. Sounds like the main issues are your tire brand and your fender liner.

You can't be rubbing much in the rear, probably just barely rubbing the inner fender liner. I'd just cut the inner fender liner out for a few inches above the fender lip. It's easy to cut with a box cutter, etc. Bet that fixes it.

If not fixed, then I'd add a little camber in the rear and since that means a new alignment I'd also "pull the pins" and see if you can add some front camber too. I bet you only have 1 deg or less of rear camber, get them to adjust it up to a little more camber than you have in front. I have 2deg camber front and rear but I'm lowered, etc. 1 in front, 1.5-2 degrees rear camber would be a good setup. Make sure they keep your toe as low as possible, toe and camber eats up tires.

An easier fix next time you get tires is buy about any other tire brand, Michelin PSS's hang over the rim more than most.
