EDIt......

are you sure you are hitting the body? if so i would guess its the inside of the fender not the outside of the fender(fender rolling or cutting) because you arent lowered. so maybe some nice spacers would work. good luck

How about a fender pull? Looks like the rims have low offsets, and you aren't lowered or don't have a lot of camber to pull of the flush look.

i would also suggest switching to stiffer suspension
i had the same proble with my rims wich haf a +8 offset in the front and +14 in the rear
the stiffer suspension help although bumps on the highway at highspeeds still caused some problems
