what is widest spacer setup i can go with?

Hello, I'm looking at upgrading my stock 20s to 22inch square setup with all seasons. I do lots of snow driving and want DWS06.

thinking 285/35/22 front an rear and adding spacers to both front an rear to give a wider stance.

what is widest spacer setup I can go with?

and will this wheel sizing work for both front and rear 22x10.5? or do I need to go smaller?

I'm looking at Savani BM16 wheels and they have many options for the offsets. So I suppose i could just skip the spacers and have the offset done on the wheel. any recommendations for that?

thanks in advance for any help figuring this out

If you have the options to custom order the offset that is the way to go.
To give you an idea, here is my car running OEM 22” wheels and 18/25 spacers. It is on air suspension and at loading height. Everyone has a different idea in what “flush” is and if you are planning on lowering the car that will affect the “flush” look as the wheel will camber in.
I suggest to look at alot of pictures, there is a lot in this forum where people shared their wheel size and offset.
If I can give you advise based on my owm experience is to go with the less aggressive setup as you can always add a small spacer versus going aggressive and having to shave the wheels.

I have 22"s but I decided to up the wheel diameter to maintain the same sidewall as the factory 21" setup. This results in a tire diameter of 30.5"-30.7", which is the maximum diameter i feel you can get away with without rubbing at full lock (i literally have less than a 1/8th of an inch between the tire and fender at full lock). I always felt the wheel diameter of the X5s were too small for its body and the 1 inch increase in diameter from stock makes a pretty big difference....plus I wanted to maintain as much of the stock ride quality as possible. I also have 25mm spacers all around to flush things out. I kept the staggered layout since I have sdrive...275/40/22 in the front and 305/35/22 in the rear.

(the last pic is before I blacked out some of the trim)

1/8” clearance at static load condition? How about dynamic condition say you hit a bump at full lock? Or making a relatively fast u-turn, does it still clear?

Chineywhale would you be willing to share some more photos? A photo straight down the side taken from the back, and straight down the side taken from the front - so we can see the amount of poke? And any other photos bonus too
