Roll the fenders. Time for a wooden baseball bat and a heatgun.

Wheels look good on the car btw.

First off, what are the tire and wheel sizes? Those tires look way too big. Im guessing theyre prolly 235 correct? If so, thats your problem. You need to be running 225 or 215. I made the mistake of purchasing a 235 for my car and rubbed like hell over bumps and dips. Get some 225 tires and you should be fine. Also make sure the width of those wheels is proper for good fitment. I ran 18x7.5. I think 18x8 fit with no rub too. I dont know about 18x8.5 or 9.
