Help please!

Ok heres my problem. I just got a set of new low offset wheels +35 to b exact. And i got a set of 205 wide tires. And the the back rubs pretty bad on big bumps but i cant get a full car anymore. I rolled the fenders and cut a lot of fender inside plastic. It still rubs. Im not going to get new springs but i need it to not rub so i was wondering what else i culd try. My uncle said i can get rubber pieces that go in the springs to make it compress as much. And i wondering if any has tried this and think it might work. Also ive seen these nascar rubber pieces that go underneath the spring to raise the spring up. Please i need help fast. Please!

I THINK Ben @ A&J told me there are these rubber pieces that sits underneath the springs llllllllllllllong time ago too? Can't remember exactly. I had rubbing issue long time ago when I had my Eibach pro-kit springs with 205 tires. Ever since I swapped out the rear Eibach back to T1R ver1 springs, not much issue unless I'm quite loaded in the back seat/trunk with my 14x6.5" +30mm offset with 185/60R14 snow tires.

U DO need stiffer rear springs with less coils or linear design sooner or later. Unless u wanna invest $ on new tires or rear camber shims.
