Default 20" rims on my Lexus GS430

So i upgraded my rims to 20" foose rims and they are now rubbing in the back if i have anyone in back seat or i hit a bump. they are rubbing on the outer side of the wheel well. The fronts are also rubbing slightly along the inner wheel well but i heated up plastic and pushed out some areas.

I guess i need to raise me car a few inches but i dont want to spend tons on money on a new suspension. i was told i can buy some spacers that will go in between my springs to raise slightly. IS that the best way to raise my car slightly so i dont rub anymore? can anyone recomend a specific brand or type?

Roll/shave your rear fenders!

I've never heard of a spacer that go between the springs. Is your car lowered?
What are your rim/tire specs?

my tires are 275/30/20 in the rear. They run when there is people or weight in the trunk. I attached a photo
