Help---extreme Rubbing

So I got my linea corse dynas about 8-9 months ago and had some rubbing when I installed them. Once I got my fenders rolled, the rubbing stopped and I went on with my day. My tires are 275-30-19 in the rear. I have an 2007 e92. Yesterday I decided to go ahead and lower my car on H&R Race springs. Now I am rubbing everywhere. I am rubbing on dips, drops, its non stop. The fenders are rubbing on the side wall of my tires. What should i do?

1. Try and find someone to pull my fenders?

2. Remove the Rear lowering springs and put the factory springs back on?

3. Change my rear tires to 265-30-19?

4. Try to find some adjustable camber arms?

Please Help!

Yeah thats what I have been hearing, but Idk if it would make a big enough difference for it to stop that much rubbing. I cant even fit a pinky in between the fender and sidewall of the tire.

i had 285 30 20 with offset +25 on the rears. I rubbed with a full car or a big bump. Best way for sure is to get less wide tires rather than getting camber that will give you uneven wear... I would go 255 30 19 on your car since you have "race" drop

Keep the springs and save tires

Try a more modest drop. If you're on stock shocks then surely stiffen up your suspension as well.

how aggressive is your roll?

Here is my old car with 275.30.19 Nitto Invos and rolled fenders at an EXTREMELY low ride height

had zero rubbing, even with full load

Im going to take some pictures tomorrow so you can actually witness how severe the rubbing is. I can barely fit a piece of paper in between the tire and my fender.
