Thumbs down E92, wheel hitting fender

I drive an '09 328i X-drive coupe, and I noticed a terrible scraping noise!

When people are sitting in the rear seats, whenever there is a bump in the road the rear wheels make a terrible grinding noise, to my understanding it is when there is weight in the rear, the bump causes the wheel to get in contact with the inside of the fender and it scrapes it and makes this noise.

Also when I turn hard right it also makes this noise but even worse!

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Is your car dropped? If it's still on stock suspension this shouldn't happen unless you have a HUGE amount of weight in the back. Either that or your suspension is old and collapsed and you need to replace it.

What are the wheel widths and offsets? Also what tire sizes?

Are you running the original stock wheels, or something else? My guess is something else and the wheel offset is incorrect.
