Help rubbing on Tein S-Techs

So i just swapped my rear stock springs on my G37s coupe for Tein s techs. Im also sitting on xxr 531s offset 19x11 and axhelies tires offset 245 45 19..... I noticed the drop was quite low and when I took the car for a drive i noticed i was rubbing pretty bad so I cut the fender lining and pushed it back that cleared up 90% of the rubbing. Now when i go into a hard turn on a ramp merging onto the highway it rubs pretty bad and when i go over a small bump the rubbing is pretty painful what are my options i was thinking just get fenders pulled or put the stock springs back on and save for tanabe coilovers

Have any pics? If the tires tuck inside the rear fender then you are probably rubbing on the rear fender bracket, you can trim this back w/ a Dremel tool.

Lmaooo naw bro actually they were pretty good after rolling. The wheels look bad in that pic because of the condition they were given to me that's not from the fender at all lol before the rolling they rubbed a little bit but not super extensive. My fronts didn't run at all it was jus the back that had trouble

If you haven't trimmed the bumper bracket I'd try that first, your fenders should already be rolled, but not 100% sure.

trim the bumper bracket and bend the fender and bumper connector, if that still doesn't help, you might wanna change the tires with thinner sidewall.
