Poster likes the wheels and obviously wants to keep them. Thus, looking to change out suspension. I point to worn out bushings being part of the cause that isn't helping with ride height.

One can get $700 or less spent on getting front AND back M3 control arms (new) with new bushings. Better handling, a bit more ride height if the original bushings are worn out.

Wheels can cost just as much if not more.

One cheap solution for OP is to get xDrive springs. They are taller and slightly stronger springs. It will definitely lift your car up. You can cut them down to size if too tall?
Bushings are not the answer and control arm bushings are definitely not the answer. That would be $700 down the drain if the goal was to simply fix the tires from rubbing.

The problem is the wheel and tire spec. The fix is different wheels and/or tires, added camber or rolling the fenders.
