Wheel rub - 16" aero rims - 195/50/r16 - spg fender

Experienced tire rub in rear when loaded with 4 adults, camping gear ( first time with 195/50/r16 sumer tires on) . When I drove over a slight bump it rubs I think on the spg fenders flares.
Other info:
no rubbing when only two passengers on board
From what I researched in c900 forum:
-People seem to have issues with 205/50/r16 width ( requiring axle relocation) but not 195/50/r16.
-offset is 7mm larger on aero wheels from stock
I'm assuming given the larger offset of aero wheels and big payload and spg fenders... this combo will give rubbing. Also, at first I thought it was my springs sagging but after researching the forum I feel this is not the case.
I really like the look of the aero rims but will go back to stock if this is the cause of rubbing.
Am I n the right track? anything else to look at? what are my options to keep the aero wheels while still keeping stock payload capacity?
Thanks in advance
Norm
