Camber kit may help, but the car may just be to low for 17's.

first try to bring your camber in more ( u will go through tires,and have the butterfly effect, and won't handle as good), If that dosen't help u can take a big fucking hammer (ghetto way) and pull off your fender lining, and u will see metal that sticks out smack it, so it becomes flat.. basically roll the outer fender, and teh inner middle portion is what u are going to be rollin to accomdate those wheels

What sidewall profile are you running? 205/40/17?

My bet is that your rolling circumference is a tad larger than stock, which is causing you to rub when the suspension is under load.

Is the offset for your car? I had that happen once when I had a set of 17 inch tenzo sinko r's w/205-40-17 on my 2 inch drop w/a camber kit. The deal was on a trade and the lug pattern was 4x100 so it fit, but I think the offset was wrong since it rubbed on u-turns. Later on down the line I had a set of 17 inch rev m-6 w/205-40-17 and those were new. Prior to the order the guy I spoke w/asked specifics on my yr. make and model in-order to avoid rubbing issues. Well, those wheels never rubbed.

This isn't ghetto, this is good ol american know how. Just beat the shit out of it, drive it in deep, and hope it sticks.
