Help: Rubbing Tires with E46 Competition Package Rims

Hello, I'm looking for some advice in regards to rubbing in the rear tires problem I have. I'm running E46 Competition Package Rims 19x9.5 with 275/30 Michelin Pilot Super Sport and I rub almost anytime I go over a bump or a hump on the road.

My car is 2008 335i coupe sports package with all stock components. I used to run E46 Competition Package Rims with the same size Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta tires, until recently I had a series of bad luck with flat tires and cracked rims from pot holes, so both my rear tires were cracked. I tried to repair, but they just kept having problems and decided to go with brand new rims and tires. Initially my Vred tires were rubbing too, but I rolled my fenders some and it was fine. The tires had already bend the fenders' edge some prior to rolling, so the shop only rolled the fenders up to that edge that was formed. Also I noticed that tire edges were worn out from the initial rubbing prior to me rolling the fenders. After my rolling my old tires were doing fine and only extremely rarely would rub if any.

At this point I'm wondering if I can get the tires to fit without having to pull the fenders or getting a different suspension. The options I'm considering are:
- Rolling my fenders more (not sure if possible and if it can crack the paint)
- Changing the camber (reduces tire life from what I know)
- Machining the inside hub of the tires to reduce the offset
- Try to return the 275/30 tires and get 265/30 (front tires are 235/35)
- Give up and try to sell the wheel tire set

Here's some pictures. I'd appreciate any other suggestions too.
