I am running 315 Nitto NT01s and I was surprised to see so much wear on the rear wheel well. These tires were new to start a three day event with co-drivers.
Both wells had wear but the lsft was worst. I am going to look for a smaller tire.
Fresh alignment:
Camber Left -1.89
Right -1.99
Toe Left 1.9 mm
Right 2.5 mm
Total Toe Rear 4.4 mm
Thrust Angle Rear -0.02
Sway Rear 1 off Soft
Weight Rear 0.50
Ride Height Rear 127

Can you post your rear wheel offset specs? I bet they are inset too much.
My alignment specs are very similar to yours, maybe even a little lower, and I have no such wear, and this is on a wheel with identical to stock specs.

Had the same issue with 315 PS2s. stock ET 2deg Camber.
888 315s are narrower with no rubbing.
In both cases a 3-5mm spacers set worked perfectly.
Keep the tires.
