maybe:
slight negative cambers at the back?
stiffer rear sway bars?
stiffer suspensions at the back?

Roll the guards or have them pumped like I did. Otherwise try for some more negative camber but I don't like you chances of having them never rub with just neg.

Get the correct offset wheels? Or... get the guards rolled and some stiff springs in... try Dentcraft for guard rolling(about $50 a guard from memory) or do a forum search as it has been discussed at length many times!!
