Are the tires new? If not then just get some new tires to slap on them or if your money is low then just get some used tires for $30 each until you can buy new tires.
Tire setup not rubbing and flushness is going to be dependant on the offset and width of the rims and your cars height (OEM height, sagging OEM height, lowered, etc...).
When I was driving my ES (now it's just been parked for a year) I have 18x8 +37 (I think?) 225/40/18 on all 4 corners with no rubbing lowered or on OEM "sag".
With 20x8.5 +38 225/35/20 on all 4 corners I had rubbing in the rear on OEM "sag".
Rolling or trimming your fenders will help with rubbing. Just make sure your wheels aren't rubbing your struts otherwise you'll need to get some spacers.
Since you have a 3rd Gen ES you might have a little bit more room under there compared to my 2nd Gen ES but I'm not sure.
