Suggestions for lowering on Alufelgen 19" SF-71s with Michelin Pilot Super Sports

I've got a 2006 e90 330i with the stock sport suspension. I'm looking to purchase a set of Alufelgen 19" SF-71s with Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I hear the Pilot SSs bulge out a bit, so that makes them more susceptible to rubbing. I would like to lower the car with the goal of keeping the ride quality as close to stock (not too harsh) as possible, no rubbing and I won't roll my fenders. I'm looking for suspension options (if possible without rubbing). I'm open to suggestions, but here a few options I've been looking at:

H&R Touring Cup Suspension Lowers Front 1.3", Back 1.2"
KW Coilovers V1
KW Coilovers V2
Bilstein PSS10 Coilovers

Any advice would be appreciated.

When I got my new wheel set-up the consensus from the forum, **********s, and TireRack is the PSS tires have a more square profile that other tires in the same class. Coilovers are a good solution, but the KW V1s are only height adjustable.

I doubt that you could ever have rubbing issues with that setup on a pre-LCI. I have SF-71's w/ H&R Sport springs, Hankook Ventus V12 tires and 5mm spacers on 2007 with absolutely no rubbing and no fender rolling.
