Default Camber Issue

Okay, I'll stop spamming other people's threads with my tire rubbing issues.

So I just took off my fat azz Azenis RT-615's (225/45/17 on 17X7.5 ET48 Enkei's) (and replaced them with my AVS ES100's (215/45/17 on Rota 17X7.5's ET 4 and not only was the rear passenger side tire rubbing against the fender (which was obvious), but it appears the driver side rear tire was rubbing the chassis just barely (opposite side). So apparently my rear camber is a little off.

Anybody know if a little bit of camber can be added/removed without adding camber bolts? It should be currently around -1 in the rear since a year ago my buddy used his fancy home alignment tools to confirm the alignment I got two years ago did indeed get me -1 in the rear (no camber bolts used). Unfortunately the alignment shop installed the Eibach camber bolts I gave them in the front instead of the rear. I don't know why since the fronts are already adjustable from the factory. Anybody know if the camber bolts from the factory can get as much adjustability as the Eibach's? The eibach's claim they can get you +/- 1 degree of camber.

Could it have messed up the camber in the rear when I removed the three strut top bolts (on each strut tower) to install my Whiteline strut tower bar? Or maybe I need an alignment due to my off at RFR or when I was offroading or somthing. Tire wear seems normal though.
