Default Smaller tires, smaller spacers, or coilovers?

Recently put back on my spacers after having them off for a while, have a pretty bad rubbing issue where the fender will hit the tire and take off some of the rubber whenever I go over a huge dip on LA’s beautiful roads 😁 I have 3 avenues I could take to solve this and just wanted to get some input from the community and anyone who has dealt with something similar

option 1: get smaller tires as I’m currently rocking 275/40 R19s which is way larger than stock

option 2: get smaller spacers (see last 2 pictures)

option 3: keep the same wheels and spacers but just get a set of coilovers and add some camber to tuck in the top of the wheel under the fender (would love this option but really wouldn’t know where to start and wouldn’t want something too crazy expensive either)
