Thanks for the all the guidance guys,,,
I will have to raise the car up just a little (maybe about 1/2") and ultimately get different wheels that fit properly (lesson learned). I did have it cranked down pretty low so it should still look pretty good and ride fine at the higher height. When I change rims it can come back down. I will post pics later....

I agree with those telling you to sell the rims and get proper fitting ones. OEM's seem to fit really well.

I have heard of people grinding the calipers if it's just a small, non-critical part of the casting that's rubbing. Another non-recommended bandaid.
