Tire rubbing! Need help!

Guys, I'm not lowered. I just put on 20" Axis Pentas on my 2004 g35 coupe. 20X10 and 20X9. I bought them from a guy who had them on an 04 g35 coupe. Now, i installed the wheels myself and there is minimal space between the fender and tires. The guy who sold them to me said he was on a stock suspension and he did not roll his fenders. He said they rarely rubbed. The problem i am experiencing is that mine are rubbing on bumps and when i accelerate on some turns. Please help!! Should i get the wheels re-installed at a shop because i hear some sort of a squeaky sound coming from my back left tire while i am rolling the car? What should i do? I can post a pic later if needed.
Thanks

just do a minimal roll on your fenders. You dont need to flatten the lip out, just roll it up enough so the tires dont rub. Maybe the guy you bought them from just got used to it and the tires slowly just pushed the fender lips up enough from rubbing to where they didnt rub very much. Hard to tell. Maybe he was just bullsh!tting you so you would buy them. But if its not rubbing TOO bad then just roll the fenders and call it a day. Any idea what offset the wheels are? and what size tires are on them?

275/35/20
245/35/20
And I think the offsets are +25, Axis only made this size with +25.
Where can I get my fenders rolled and for how much? I'd prefer having someone doing it for me in case i mess something up.

Those sizes are a tad taller than what we normally use. A 245/30-20 and 275/30-20 would be better sizes.
