To roll or not?
The issue is the offset, not the spring rates. You are going to come close to bottoming out your suspension at times and it would be nice if there was no rubbing under those conditions. Suspension drop really isn't the issue some make it out to be either. It just means that if you rub you will do so more often with less suspension travel.
For a 265 width tire the absolute minimum offset is 55 mm. And because not all 265 widths are the same (go figure) you can be running this combination and still get rubbing issues. You might consider running 255s on the back. This would still give you plenty of stagger to minimize oversteer and would probably eliminate rubbing issues.
A question for those who roll their fenders. What happens to the front wheel well liners where they meet the fender?

But before rolling your fenders you might try some additional neg. camber. I imagine the rubbing is from the front area with your offset. I'm running wheels with a +56 offset (front & rear) with no rubbing issues using the same tire sizes. Run a search for the European alignment spec's, this will give you some additional fender clearance hopefully only necessitating a front fender roll.
