Default rubbing issue

i just got my skunk2 lowering springs and the struts will be here in a few days and i was wondering what i can do to prevent my 17s from rubbing just for now until i get smaller tires. these are goin on a 95 hatch. it looks like the previous owner cut and rolled the back fenders but idk if that will do it. im not entirely sure it will rub but i have heard from a few people it will and am just looking for some advice until i can afford some 15s or 16s. thanks

ive got eibach lowering springs on stock shocks/struts with 205/40/17's on my EM1 and i had no rubbing issues until i got my skunk2 camber kit and corrected the camber, i rolled my fenders and it helped A LOT but i think the only real way to fix the problem is drop down to 15's or 16's
