Need advice on spacers

So its this time of year again when the summer wheels come out
Here's what I'm running:
Front - 19 x 8.5 with 235/35z/r19
Rear - 19 x 9.5 with 265/30/r19
I have M6 reps as my summer wheels. See the following link for pics.
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=388148

I want to add spacers to make it flush with the fenders (Please note my car is not dropped as of yet) but don't know what size to get. I'm thinking of doing 15mm...will this be ok for the rear? And can i put this on the front too or no? Whats your take on this?

Also, I've been calling around to see how much spacers will run me and I'm getting one quote at $10 - $25 depending on size and another at $100 with extended lug nuts. Does brand matter when buying and installing spacers? What do you guys recommend?

Thanks fellas!

I would recommend dropping the car first, then getting a spacer accordingly. Once you drop the car, the wheels will camber in and your specs will be slightly different.

I dont plan on dropping anytime soon. But i want the wide look at the rear. Please let me know what to look for in terms of quality spacer and not no $10 ones you get at your local rim shop.

Macht Schnell, Rouge Engineering, H&R are all great companies to look into.
