Help! Slight rubbing!

I need some help from some of the tech gurus on this forums. I have a '08 335i with M3 ZCP wheels. The car is currently on the stock sport suspension, with the two rear fenders rolled.

Even with the roll, I'm still slightly rubbing in the rear when going over rough roads. I'm using 265/35r19 tires in the rear; not certain if the 265/30r19 will fix the issue, so i'm trying to see if maybe it's a better option to try to slightly raise the car in the rear by about 3/8".(And maybe drop the front by about 3/8")

So my question is, would anyone know if the 265/30 tire would fix the issue; or would my best bet be changing the suspension? I've tried researching for a spring/shock setup that would raise the car a little, but with no success.

Would adding more negative camber help at all?

Any help is appreciated.

You're running some big tires. I doubt adding more camber will help. It will also wear your tires out a lot faster.

Yeah I should probably wait till I switch out to the new 265/30 ratio. Just not sure if it will completely stop the rubbing so maybe I figured finding a coilover setup that would help me out would be a better idea.

It's not rubbing too bad right now, I'll switch out the tires and see where that takes me. I appreciate the input!
