nothing until the scrubbing is sorted.
What offset (ET) are the wheels?
And what size tyres?

They only scrub on one side because the suspension on the car is often not on dead straight. There is nothing you can do about this.

Oh, 40/40 or 60/60... You don't want the back of the car lower than the front.

Or the tyres are too big. Or the offset is totally off...

Do you mean it's hitting the arch or is it wearing off quicker than the others?

corsa/astra suspension on the rear is never straight as said above, if ayone knows the reason/cure that would be spot on
