I WAS rubbing when I first put the rims on....but it eventually shaved the pointy parts of the liner flat....so now it doesn't make any noise when going full lock....my liners are still fully intact....its just that pointy part got shaved off eventually....no harm

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

rear fenders rolled
swift springs
-2 front and -1 rear

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