Wheel/Tire past my fender???

Hi guys... I'm going to put up pictures tomorrow so you guys can visualize what I'm trying to say right now.

First off, I have an 08' G37 non-sport COUPE. I swaped out my Non-Sport brakes with someone else's sport brakes. The guy had front Stoptech drilled/slotted rotors and then (I think) regular OEM rear rotors. His car was a SEDAN though and I don't know if that affects anything?

Anyways swap was done and everything and when I put my Volk's on, I need a spacer for the front and it still has MINISCULE clearing with 15mm spacers while the back has atleast a good 3-4 inches of clearance.

So I think the HUB ring for the regular OEM rotor is thicker/wider than the Stoptech rotor because my rear wheels stick out way past my fenders which is why I'm rubbing ... and I'm not even dropped! I contacted JEB for assistance and he said I had to roll my fenders... do I really have to? I don't think that will solve anything.

I think my best solution is to either
A). Swap my front rotor with the rear rotors since I get more clearance and I won't rub in the back, but aren't the front/rear rotors different sizes?
B). Just buy new rear rotors... but JEB said that this won't work, but I think it will because I just need a thinner hub like the stoptech one's and I think I'll be okay.
C). Rolling my fenders. I don't know anything about this or if it would even help my situation.

My car right now.. if anyone of you know him basically sits like SYMPLE'S car with his iforged's that stick out past the fender. It's ridiculous.

My wheel size is 245/35/20 x9.5 +35 .. and 285/30/20 x10.5 +37.

Please help guys, I need your input/advice as to fix my problem, as I mentioned I'm going to post pictures up ASAP tomorrow. Sorry for the lengthy post.

Stretch tire, camber, and more drop j/k

Idk about A and B, but our cars come stock with pre-rolled fenders.

So our fenders are already rolled....? JEB said if I do it it'll make my fender stick out more so I don't rub.

Here are the pictures so you guys might be able to help out a little more...

Heres the driver side tire...



..passenger side tire



Heres the SEDAN REAR ROTOR.. notice how thick the hub is.. also notice how there's like a 30mm spacer attached!! It's so thick/wide



Now here's the stoptech rotor... you can notice how thin it is compared to the regular oem sedan one... and this is with a 15mm spacer and still isn't as thick/wide!



... and this is how she sits as of now (with no drop as you can all telll...)



Please help... need a lot of it right now lol

sorry, was on my cell phone. I dunno I think you can run stretched tires or go back to your normal oem set up with regards to brakes. Your offsets are fine and its nutz for your tires to be sticking out like that with a 37 offset

Yea I know it's pissing me off.. I think the Sedan Rotor is different than a Coupe Rotor.. so me and my dad think I need new rear rotors that are thinner than the one I have..

yeah I would have to agree with that, just go back to oem rotors asap or stretch your tires and maybe roll ur fenders, but I think that poking is way wide and u could do some serious damage

Yea.. I've done damage to my rear tires already...lolol nothing bad but it is noticeable I guess.

Where can I purchase rear rotors for a good price tag? Lou said our cars are already pre-rolled... sooo what does that mean? lol

Umm has anybody gone and looked at their car??? Rear rotor is thicker because of the emergency brake, new rotor is not going to solve this.
