Can you carefully roll the fender, lets say 1/8" - 1/4" to get som more clearence?
That small of a change should be very hard to see unless compared with another car.

Magnus,
This is true, but for the front fenders only.
I assume you're referring to the rear fender. If the tire isn't hitting the fender lip (you say about 1" above the lip), rolling the lip isn't going to create more clearance where it's actually needed. The solution is either a narrower tire, use a different wheel offset or reshape the fender shape. Do you really want more negative camber?
You can also raise the vehicle height, but you probably don't want to do this unless it's really low. Constraining the suspension with stiffer springs, shocks and raised ride height are just momentary measures. One good roll over a dip in the road at speed will compress the suspension to the contact point.
