What size tire are you running on the front with an 18 inch wheel?
I've got a 275-35/18 on the front on my car and it's been bugging me since day one even though I think this is the most popular tire of the front with an 18 inch wheel. Might look at a taller tire but it's just a hassle to have a set of tires mounted.

Michelin 285/35ZR18 Pilot SS here.
Fills out the front wheel well nicely and handles better than the 275 tires before.

275/35 here 335/30 rear .. they look about the same.. I don't think 285/35 will be that noticeable in fact side wall on the 285 will be a bit taller than the 275..

Considering the OEM 17 inch tire is only 1/10 of an inch taller,25.7 compared to the 25.6 for the 18 inch tire I have on the car just might stick with what I have. I keep lowering the car trying to get rid of the gap only to relies it's the gap in front and the rear of the tire you can't do anything about unless you get a taller tire.Cant see much in this picture.
