You can roll your fenders with no damage just take your time with a small bat .

dont know if you can tell from pic, but in corners and bumps im getting about 1/2 on the tire. worried about high speed cornering. so far all it has seemed to do is mess w/ the factory undercoating. im afraid a hard bump/corner could damage the fender

Switch to 265 rubber in the rear and adjust the camber to make it more negative.

Roll the fenders and 265 with neg camber should do the trick. If you dont want to buy tires try rolling the fenders and running some negative camber on the tires you have now. If it works then you dont have to buy new tires in a 265 if not buy new tires with a 265 width.

Just one question. Who sold you wheels that dont fit on the car? I would contach that person and let them know they sold you something that did not fit the car. After all those wheels and tires we made for a 3 series coupe right?

It'll help you if you tell us the offset of your wheels. But like Apline6spd mentioned, smaller tires with negative camber will most likely alleviate your rubbing issues. However, from your pictures it seems those tires are rubbing your fender pretty badly. It's not just the sidewall rubbing, but nearing over into the actual tread of the tire. I'd heat and roll those fenders ASAP or get narrower tires.
