Default New wheels rubbing

Hey guys, I just recently got some Vorsteiner wheels for my XF Supercharged. Fronts are 21x9 and rears 21x10.5. I used the stock profile 255/35r21 for the front and 295/30r21 for the back. I realized I probably should have went with a lower profile cause I am getting slight rubbing in the front on the fender liner and major rub on the rear when hitting a harsh bump. Should I just roll my rears a little bit? I really don’t wanna alter the body of the car but I need to stop the rubbing in the rear.

Much Thanks!

Thats a lot of poke. Options would be
pull fender if you want to keep that stance and tires
Remove fender liner, roll fenders and get stretched tires
Get some negative camber

I'd personally just get some negative camber, to see how you feel about it because that is the cheapest option and can be reversed. But thats only if you get just enough camber where your still within -0.5 of spec range and clear the fenders.
