How much is it touching? Use could use washers from a local hardware store to determine how think your spacers need to be. Spacers range anywhere from 3mm - 40mm. You'll also have to consider your tire size unless that's how text fit the wheels. You'll also need longer bolts depending on the thinkness of spacers. I've ran up to 20mm spacers without any problems. Good luck.

worst case, new wheels with a lower ET, but spacers should clear some space

Easiest and cheapest route is to get spacers like everyone said. Can you post a picture of your wheels? Depending on what tires you have, you can always get stretched tires, or a bigger stretch if you already have stretched tires. Now if it's the actual wheel rubbing you got big troubles lol
