Regarding lower offset with use of spacers

My setup is F: 8,5x19 ET35 with 235/35 and R: 9,5x19 ET35 with 275/30

I have coilovers that is on almost lowest point (2 turns left) in the front and a little higher in the rear.
What offset could I run? A little fender roll is ok. Not much, but some.

Here are som pics how it sits now (I have 5mm spacers on the fronts in these pics):

That is if I roll the fenders I guess. I have a set of 10mm and 15mm. Tried the 15mm on but then I couldnt even get a papersheet between the tire and the fender.
Guess I need to order some rolling ASAP....

Heihei

I never tried spacers in the front, but 10mm sounds about right.
When I had 19x9.5 ET32 265/30/19 in the rear, I tried 10mm spacers, so with your ET35 I'd say 12mm or 15mm.

We've used spacers to bring wheels down to ET22 offset and they came out perfect on the E90 rear. So 12mm would be most ideal. Looks like you have a bit of camber which will help clear the fenders also.
