The only sure fire solution is coilovers because you can adjust ride height. Everything else is guesswork. Search PSS9s

...
if the C55 is the same as the C32, then you could check to see if you have the thickest pad in the rear for the springs...thickest pad is #4, if you have anything under that, then you might be able to get enough clearance to not rub by going to a thicker pad...just my .02

Look at this as a perfect opportunity to get rid of those wheels and go with something that "fits" your car a little better.

Good thought. The spacers are really inexpensive, so the entire investment is labor. When you say that they are rubbing due to the "weight from your system"? Are you referring to your sound system? If it is a new problem caused by adding weight, then the #4 spacer may be a solution. It will simply raise the back of the car. If you don't want to raise the back of the car, you need to go with a firmer spring that does not compress as much over bumps. Of course that makes the ride firmer too.
