Re: Solution to Rubbing...
25mm spacers will fix your issues man 
.
Rolling fenders is just as labor intensive as beating in your wheel wells (I had to do both to my car to fit my wheels...I'm going to have to hammer more out when I get the new ones on). Since you aren't running a 9wide on your car though you should run a spacer and roll the fender...it'll look better too.

EDIT: stage 1 beat in done. i've painted them to see if they rub still rub. it wasn't too bad. hopefully i won't have to go insane on the beating process.

The struts mainly control the rebound. Replacing them probably wouldn't change compression characteristics like you might think.
Just do more beating.

Re: Solution to Rubbing...
i'm tempted to maybe try a spacer....but i seriously only think my problems will be solved when i get less "beefy" tires. lol. i kinda thought i'd have a problem with the 195/55's. but i didn't know it would be like this.

Probably. But that would be silly.
