Hi there. I have the same wheels and tires (215-50r17 Continental ExtremeContact) on my 98 ES300 on stock suspension and I'm getting all sorts of rubbing issues on the back. I had it fender rolled and still have rubbing issues. The only difference is that I had a 25mm spacer installed at the back.
Any advice as to how I can remedy this?
Thanks!
Is it possible the rear struts and springs are worn out which are causing more than usual camber angles?

I’ll take a look on the rear struts also. Though it doesn’t feel busted or worn out. Still I’ll check it. Thanks for the tip man! I’ll let you know if it works

Other than that, it's possible Continentals are just that little bit too wide, which can happen due to design. I know my tires just barely clear the rear struts and I've seen little tire marks on the strut housings, so I know they made contact at some point.
