a couple options of varying cost.
the 1 shot 1 kill will cost you but you could always get the fenders re-workerd or new wider ones welded on.
a cheaper route would be to do a mild pull of the rear fenders and run some extra negative camber. you could get the 5mm longer than stock oem rear arms that are pretty cheap but this will only give you like 5mm more clearance at the top.
you could get the backpads of the wheels shaved down say 5-10mm if you have enough material on the wheels backpad to safely get away with loosing this much backpad and still have enough to safely mount the wheels. also need to make sure you can clear the rear brakes if you take off some of the backpad. i believe we only need a 5mm backpad if that to clear the rear 04-06LS430 brake caliper.
i'd look into getting the backpad shaved down some, the 5mm longer than stock rear arms and then do a mild pull and you'd still be way ahead of the game $$ wise than if you just got major fender work done. prolly $200 for wheels to be machined down if that, and what like $250 for the rear arms. you can pull the rears yourself with a roller arm and a heat gun.

What are the widths and offsets of the rims?
Honestly, go LOWER and see what kind of natural camber you're really working with. Your fronts look like they'll be fine. Do the obvious if you haven't already, roll the front fenders and shave/pull the rears.

This is a 20x9.5 +1mm and 20x11 +6mm setup, which on top of being an inch larger diameter, they poke 3mm more in front and 8mm more in the rear than your setup. It says he's running 2* camber in the front and 4.5* in the rear, with rolled front fenders and shaved/pulled in the rear. He's member beangrower on www.vipstylecars.com.
