245/40 is too tall of a tire, that is what is causing your problem. If you wanted to run a 245, it would need to be a 35 series. I would recommend purchasing the proper side wall height.

I really dont wanna buy tires!! i had a 7mm spacer in there and it was just barely rubbing.....think if i put a 12 or 13 in there it should be ok!??

that tire is way to tall for a 3 series. almost 27" tall while the stock tire is 25". what size tire you running in the back? im sure this looks all sorts of silly.

Running any larger of a spacer may fix the rubbing on the inside, but it will only cause more rubbing on the outside fender. I would highly recommend swapping the tires out to the proper sizing.
