Can you adjust the rear camber?

I have new wheels (19x8.5 ET40 225/35 and 19x9.5 ET45 255/30) but the rear rubs slightly with stock suspension. If I have people in the back the rears will definitely rub over smaller bumps. SOOOOO......I was wondering if I could get the rears to have a more negative camber to compensate for the rubbing.

you have to "heat" the paint right? I just want to confirm this when I shop for a place that will do it

yes you use a heat gun on the inside of the fender lip throughout the rolling processes to keep it at the right temp. it should be hot enough to the touch yet not yellow / bubble the paint. Go to a shop that has done bmws before.

igot my fenders "cut/shaved" rather than rolled
