Fix for 19" V710's rubbing?

I just installed a set of VMR V710's on my 135i and the rears are rubbing when I hit a bump or corner under load! I installed 19x9.5 et.45 with V12 Evo2's in 255/30R19. I was told this setup would work w/out the need to alter the suspension or roll fenders. Could be b/c of the 45 offset instead of the more common 50 offset. I like the look of the wheels and would like to find a solution to make them work and would really appreciate recommendations from the folks here…

is changing the suspension the solution?

if so, I commute in this car and won't track it, so I'd like a ride that isn't too harsh. I've had H&R Coilovers before on a different car and I was OK with that firmness. I don't want to spend a bundle, keeping it under ~$1500.

Does anyone have this wheel/tire combo with a suspension that doesn't rub? What's the suspension?

Do I need to go coilover with adjustability to ensure I don't rub or can I go with a strut/spring combo? I'd like to do the latter to save money if at all possible and I hear good things about the Koni Yellow/Swift R or Bilstein B12 kit.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Im running v703's 18x9.5 on cobb springs and have no rubbing at all. Im running 245 so the tires are stretched alittle but not much. Heres a couple pictures:





Hope this helps!
