Default Suspension bottoms out on passenger rear wheel over hard bumps

Since I replaced my tires recently I've noticed over hard bumps I hear and feel what I suspect to be the inner fender lip making contact with the tire. This only happens on the right rear passenger side, all others are fine. I can already see visible marks on the tire where the damage is occurring.

I'm not that familiar with the rear suspension on E61 cars but I was thinking to raise the ride height a bit using the INPA software to see if this helps. Has anyone seen similar problems? Any ideas or help? My car is stock suspension wise running 245s up front and 285s on the rear with 19" diameter wheels.
