Start by telling us the width and the offset. The offset is sometimes stamped on the wheel.

I doubt it's your wheels touching the fender. What size tire do you have on there?
Don't jack-up the car to fix a problem you caused with the wrong set-up.

For instance, my 18x9.5" Apex rear wheels have a 62mm offset and fit just fine.

You said your WHEEL was touching. Now it's the tire.
I asked what size tire, and you pointed me to the cryptic reference you posted about wheel size.

If you don't really want correct answers, keep giving us incomplete information.

Try an alignment. Those specs should fit.

Am I missing something here? What tire size are we talking? I think it's the wrong size tire. Almost any 255/35 R18 [or smaller] should fit.
