Default should i get spacers

Hey guys here is the deal. I put on some rx330 stock 18s on my car with 255/55/18s all around. My front tires rub a little when the wheel is turned all the way. Is this going to damage the car or the tires? I can get spacers in there should I? Would I need them all around to have a uniform look? I plan on going with a smaller tire when these are gone...any recommendations. Oh last question (sorry) what size spacer should i ask for?

Thanks in advance i dont know much about tires/wheels.

Depends on what they are rubbing and how often it happens. Pics of the spots they are hitting?

Its rubbing at a full turn like in parking lots...so that would be the tire pointing to the front rubbing against the inside wall. Im running 255/55/18 and i know most people on here purchased 235/55/18. I got all 4 for 240 mounted so it was hard to pass up on. If i get spacers should I get them all around or am i good just spacing the front because the back is fine.
