I picked up some new rims and tires last night... Pics to come

anyways, i was debating between some 215/35/18, and 215/45/17. Decided to get the 17 because Quebec as the worlds worst roads. I didnt think that there would be a problem with the 17... since its stock size. Offset on the new wheels is 43.

To my suprise... they rub... a lot. If i accelerate to fast they rub... that bad.

so my question is... what are my options. Rolling the fenders? for 17s?

thanks.

my fenders are rolled with 18in motegi's wrapped in 215/45/18's and dropped on Eibach pro springs. i have the buddyclud2 body kit which required a lil shaving to stop the rubbing but now it only rubs when i have 2 friends in the back and i hit a bump at higher speeds. i took out the spare tire but when i put my subs in the back it drops the rear alot. if i took them out i'd prolly never rub.
