fresh 18" 255/35 tyres scraping the left side of my E46 330ci

Recently saved enough to change my tires to fresh michelins ps3's at great expense and suddenly my left rear tire is scraping against the car on fast dips and hard corners. Hv inspected the tires but hv been unable to detect the contact points.The workshop that installed the new tires can't figure out how to fix the problem and insist it's my suspension that hv gone soft which is rubbish since it was fine before I changed the tyres and they are the same size.I'm looking for a good shop around glenmarie/subang area that would hv expertise in fixing this and would be grateful for any kind suggestions and recommendations of good tire shops or workshops. Thanks in advance folks.

Thanks guys, but it seems that the problem is that the tires are just too large.

It has been suggested that I look at rolling the fenders. Anyone has any idea where to get this done safely?

255/35 should be able to fit nicely into your ride. since you mentioned that its only scraping only on the left side, and you have ruled out suspensions, maybe you might want to adjust your camber. that might help.

Thanks G for the reply. In may try that but the tire shop would hv suggested it I imagine if they felt it could.

One thing i left out was that I am running original m3 18 rims which have been skimmed as the offsets were wrong for the 330 to begin with. Hence that's where the source of the issue may be. Plus the fact that Michelin ps3s tend to hv a square shape at the edges.
