Default Suspsension Question - stiffen ride

Here are a few pictures of my car currently. The wheels are 16x9.5 (front and back) with 19 mm adapters.

I posted in the local section already, but I am rubbing pretty bad right now. I am looking for suggestions for things that I can do to prevent the wheels from rubbing. I am trying to find someone to roll the fenders, but can't find someone locally and I do not want to put the stock springs in. My idea was that if I could stiffen the suspension or eliminate some of its travel, I could avoid rubbing. Anyone have any ideas?

Love the little bike on top....I can say "Never seen that before..."

As for the ride.....Air or Stiff Coilovers are the only options.

Theres always that wide body kit...

Haha, I always want to be different. That pocket bike can do about 40, but gets extremely scary once you get past 20mph.

Do you think rolling the fenders would fix my problem or am I still going to rub?

The tread of the tires stick out past the fenders. Rolling only tucks the inside fender lip up out of the way; you will still rub. Rolling & pulling might help, but not sure if it will get you all the way there. Like Shadezz said:

If it don't rub, it don't fit.
