Roll or cut the inner fenders. I would cut it personally. Rolling is a good option, except you're taking a risk in cracking the paint and then you'll have to spend money on repainting it.
My advice...take it to a shop that will do a professional job.

With a 19x9 and 19x10, I think the lowest you can go is about +25 offset.
It also depends on the section width of the tire. For instance the section with of the 275/35-19 of Pilot A/S is 11". The section width of a Pirelli P Zero Nero M+S is 10.9 (same size). So the tire buldges 0.1" more for the Michelins. This may make a marginal difference in whether you are rubbing or not.
It sounds like you have more rubbing than that, so you probably have an offset problem.

They should of given you the right offsets for your G with or without Brembos to fit properly without rolling or trimming your fenders.

Sounds like your got a nice aggressive stance. One thing to remember when not using a fender rolling machine is to make sure the paint is heated so it stretches more. Of course there is only so much it will stretch before eventually cracking. A heat gun does work wonders when using the old baseball bat.
I woudl suggest you pay a little more and get it done professionally with the right tools. You already forked over so much for the wheels, just spend a little more and get them to fit nice and snug.
Post some pics too, i d luv to see this. Oh yeah, watch out for potholes
