Hello folks.

My 2017 GT is lowered on BMR minimum drop springs and I'm running Forgestar F14s 20x9.5 (285/35/20) wheels/tires in the front. The tires often rub against the front fenders when I hit some bigger than normal dips on the road.

Would adding more negative camber fix this problem?

Thanks for any advice.

Possibly. All things considered, a 9.5” wheel is on the smaller side of things. My guess would be that it’s a combination of having not enough negative camber and using a tire that’s a bit too tall. Your wheel offset comes into play as well if you’re running a wheel where the offset is aggressive

Offset is +56 which makes the wheels perfectly flush.

How do you get perfectly flush with +56 and 9.5" wide??? That would be rubbing the strut hard if it were the actual offset.
The +56 offset is more likely the rears. In any case, the fronts and rears are perfectly flush.
