Tires Rubbing in the rear

I have a 04 G coupe with 20x10 axis shines. The tire are rubbing the fenders on the outside of the tires and I need to get this fixed. I know I have the option of rolling the fenders but I wanted that to be my last option. Let me know if anyone is running this setup and experiencing the same problem. If so, what you did to correct this issue.
Thanks
Brian

increase your negative camber or run narrower tires, those are you only two other options if you don't want to roll

All depends on offsets, unless you have the same offsets and tires as him, your setup doesn't really mean anything

Fenders

I took the car to a local wheel shop who claims that have a fender rolling machine. After about 2 hours, they called me and said that they could not roll the fender anymore die to the paint cracking. I went and picked up my car and rolled the fenders myself with the instructions from the site and it came out perfect. No more rubbing. Now it's time for a set of lowering springs. I can't go too much due to the size of the wheels. Anyone have any suggestions on which springs? Thanks for the help guys.

fenders

The wheel shop actaully cracked the paint. However, it did not when I used the blowdryer and the PVC. Should've saved myself the aggrevation and did it myself the first time.
