HELP! Tire issue Rubbing

Ok, so I'm attaching the picture of the alignment done before new wheels and tires put on. I did get 3" lift in the front and whats currently on there is 285/70/17 with 17x9 -12 offset MK6 level 8. They hit in the front when in reverse and the body mount metal in the back while turning forward. Any ideas?

First, you're going to need to find an alignment shop/tech that knows what they're doing, and willing to put in a little bit of work. They'll need to adjust the front AND rear cam bolts to maximize caster (whoever did that alignment you posted didn't touch ANY LCA cam bolts). With the SPC arms, it is actually much easier, as they can set caster with the LCA bolts, then dial in camber with the sliding upper ball joint.

This will push the wheel forward in the wheel well, which will make the rubbing on the front worse, but it is easy to modify the fender by removing the bolt, moving the fender forward, drilling a new hold in the fender, and re-attaching.

I run 5.5 degrees of caster with 17x8, 0 offset, 4.5 backspacing, with 285/70/17s. I still had to cut the body mount to avoid rubbing when full lock and stuff when off road.
