Thinning the area of the wheel where it sits on the hub. You will have to go a machibe shop to do that. Or you can get different tire brands that are rounder shouders.

Thinning the area of the wheels that sits on the hub. That essentially will turn your wheel into higher offset. Not sure if this is recommended with 2mm. Certainly not with higher thickness.
Or you can run rounder shouders tires.
What tires are you running?

Shamrode - This is a pretty important question. Can you figure where it's rubbing?

The tires seems sticking out way past fender by a 10mm.
Another option would be running a more negative camber with camber kit.
Seems to much trouble. Why not get the right wheel?

So 255 with 43 offset should be ok?

I agree with jay rick - visually those wheels appear to be sitting further out than just 7 mm form where they need to be. A 9.5" wide ET50 rim sits completely inside the fender.

Roswell was running the OEM C63 19x9 ET54 multi-spokes with 10 mm spacers in the rear - making the effective offset ET44 - with a 255 tire without rubbing and he's lowered. Even allowing for the extra 6 mm of rim on either side if yours are 9.5" wide, the tire would sit in exactly the same position on a 9" as it would on a 9.5" wide rim (it would be a tiny bit more stretched at the base, but the tread width and relative position to the chassis OF THE TREAD (not sidewall) would remain the same), yours look like they're ET35s or something around there as the wheel face appears to be sitting completely outside the fender well.

There are three pics below of my car that show how a 275 PSS on a 19x9.5 ET50 rim sits in relation to the fender. Mine is a Canadian APX coupe that has the 10 mm lower & stiffer "P30" track suspension, so it also sits lower than yours. I know that depending on the angle and where the sun is coming from pictures can sometimes look deceiving, but in yours that wheel appears to be sitting considerably more than 7mm further out than mine, which is where a 9.5" ET43 would sit. It might be flush with the fender, but it wouldn't poke past it the way yours appears to in the pic. Are you sure about the offset on the rears?

You can do a search for Roswell's posts and you may find some pics of his car (white sedan) on the OEM 19 multi-spokes with a 10mm spacer... they tuck in completely.

Here's another one that shows the rear under compression. They're the original high-res photos so you can zoom in on the rear wheel.
