Default Issue with rubbing on Espelirs

I have Espelirs with 18" Volk ce28ns. I rub on every sharp turn and moderate bump in the road. I love the look. The drop is perfect. But I am getting sick of the rubbing. Any advice on how to maintain the drop with no rubbing (I would prefer not to flare my fenders). I don't know much about these type of issues, and any help is always appreciated.

- either: roll the fenders, get skinnier tires, or shave the hub to raise the offset..

i have a little rub on driverside only, i run the 245,40 18 on a le28n. I think rolling the feder will take care of it. my camber is -1.9 degrees in the rear however.
