15x8 2356015 front tires rubbing!!!

hi, I bought a 92 bird ,former 6cyl now 305 tbi, car had 215/65/15's on 15x8 4'' back spacing. had a little front tire rub on plastic fender skirts during parking lot manuvers. so I put 235/60/15 on front and 255/60/15 on rear. love the stance now. now I have a lot of rubbing in the front. do I have to put new springs on front or do I need different back spacing for wheels or can I use wheel spacers? front end sits a little low so springs might be worn out. thanks for any help.

The backspacing is wrong, needs to be closer to 4.5"
