I think almost everyone who did the 10.5" +15mm have the rubbing at full lock up front.
But like Steven88 said, wait for it to fix itself or you can also do the rubber mallet + heat gun trick to push the liner back if you want.
Heat liner up
Put mallet on the wheel
Have someone slowly turn the wheel to "push" the liner in/away a little bit
If you aren't concerned about rolling the rear fenders (which you will have to), I wouldn't see why this fix would be holding you back?

how much camber do we need to fit in the 18x10.5 +15 with 275 tires?? Im on swift springs, but i really don't want go more than -2 camber in the rear because the car is just under steering too much...

go 10.5..you will not regret it...i was in the same boat as you before i got my wheels...i'm glad I went 10.5 +15 instead of 9.5 +15
if anything, I feel that the 10.5 +15 aren't aggressive enough...haha I know, I'm crazy...but seriously...the rears stick out just by a little..the fronts is nearly flush...this is my current setup
18x10.5 +15 275/35/R18
rear fenders rolled
swift springs
-2 front and -1 rear

A couple recent ones where the wheels are more or less visible.
