That's about the only option. Unless you want to try to exchange the wheels for ones with less offset.

are you lowered? if you cant exchange for lower offset all you can do is roll fenders like gt4dr said

You want a higher offset... a lower offset will stick out more.

Go for the 45 offset thats what I have and even on hard bumps I have no rubbing

Rolling is a very difficult thing if you arent 100% sure of yourself, even then it should be done by a pro. But when it was done on my Jetta, they heated the metal and paint around the wheel well and attached a special tool that, well, was on a roller wheel and it applied pressure to the inside of the fenderwell, then it kinda rolled out.
