sedan wheel fitment help

So I recently put new rims and tires on my 06 sedan,and I need help getting my front tires more flush,I'm new to the wheel game so bear with me.first I was thinking about spacers but I only got about an inch from the top of the tire to the fender and not sure if they make spacers that could help me out.Second idea was to adjust the camber so there straight and stretch some 225/35 tires so they don't rub. I'm running 19x8.5+15 wheels in the front and 19x10+20 in the rears.I love the way the rears looks but the poking in the back and sunken in the front look is killing me. any suggestions to help out would be great.and the only pic I have right of what I'm talking will put better ones tomorrow.Name:  IMAG0014_zps47bdf37c.jpg

To mimic the rear stance I would suggest you go with the narrower tires up front and get as much positive camber as you can. Do you have adjustable A arms up front? If you don't the car doesn't have a way to adjust the camber up front as it came from the factory. By adding positive camber the wheels will stick out more just by them being more upright.

I'm having a hard time seeing a 19X8.5 +15 as the front wheel specs as the wheels should be a lot closer to the edge of the fender unless your camber is -2.5 to -3.5* up there. I was running 19X8.5 +23 with my former wheels and they stuck out of the fender well barely, while yours look fairly sunken in. Could be just the camera angle though.

Look at the right side of the first pic:

thanks for the input, I snapped a couple more pics ,maybe they'll help better understand how they look.as of right now I don't have any camber kits install but are next on my list.I have 235/35/19 on the front ,would a 225/35 tire be a good size to switch too? And as for my camber I'm sitting at -2.8 in the front,maybe that's why they look sunken in so much.

Yep your camber is exactly why they look sunken in. You'll need to pick up front camber arms to fix that and the only 2 brands that give any measurable positive camber are the SPC and SPL. Neither are cheap at first glance, but when you factor in not having to buy tires every 10-15,000 miles they are well worth it. I'm running factory specs on camber and toe on all 4 corners and got 40k miles out of my last set of Hankook V12's.

On the 225's you would be able to get a slightly bigger stretch and slightly more positive camber room than with the 235's but that's more of a personal preference question I can't really answer. My tire set up in the pics was 225/40/19F and 245/40/19R.
