Red face Front wheels are not flush with fenders - what to do?

I was dropped on 350z H tech's which is barely a drop, got a wheel alignment, but my front tires still seem sunken inwards and not flush with fenders. Front camber appears to be pointing inwards. Here were the camber settings for the front after wheel alignment:

Left Front: -1.52 degrees
Right Front: -1.62 degrees

Which one below would remedy this?

- Go back to shop and ask them to readjust the front camber to get it back closer to stock (can I even do this without aftermarket front camber kit)? I believe stock camber for the front g35 coupe is -1.3 to 0.3 degrees.....so are my settings considered way off?

- Purchase aftermarket front camber kit and take it back to shop to readjust

- Wheel spacer to get wheel flush with fender?

- Other?

Thanks for your opinions guys. It's not just looks of not being flushed with fender i'm concerned with, I'm scared my tires are getting warped.

The front does not have any camber adjustment stock. So to remedy that you will need a camber kit for the front.

To get the flushed look, a spacer will do the trick.

damn! Those are more expensive than rears too. My question is, if you cannot change front camber, why is it that after alignment the front had different degree readings (according to the shop anyway)?

How different of a reading? if its like .1 of a degree then its probably the "play" in the suspension at the time he took the reading.
