Default Tires Rub. Need help!

Okay. I put 17" rims with 215/40 tires. I started driving it and noticed that the rear tires rubbed slightly in the turns. That fender lip (on the inside of the fender) was barley rubbing the outside edge of the tire. I was told to "roll the fenders" to eliminate the lip, but Ican't find a body shop that will do it (or even knows what it is)and I don't want to attempt to do it myself. I want to lower it with Ebiach sportlines if possible. I just want to stop them from rubbing.
Thanks

If they rub, you will have to roll your fenders to stop it, or get a 205. What is the offset of your rim and rim width?

You can cut that lip off if you really need to, I did it on my last car (Civic) so that I could correct the camber a little bit and it worked fine, it looked better than rolling it and havin the paint crack.. You shoulda got 205/40s for your car they wouldnt have rubbed.
