PICS of new wheels , question as well

well i just got my new wheels put on. i am running 18x8.5 on 245/40/18 up front and 285/35/18 on a 18x9.5 wheel in back. now i am rubbing when i make sharp turns. not just the wheel but the rim itself. do i need spacers. if so what size. any help would be greatly appreciated. i have never dealt with spacers. next up: drop and paint. before and after pics.

yeah, i would say some spacers would help. i put 18x8.5 in the correct offset on mine and rubbed the tire weight on the passenger side bottom CA. im too cheap to buy spacers though so i take it easy.
