Looking for advice regarding spacers

Hey, I really love my rear fitment but I feel the front is lacking just a little bit of poke out based on side pics like this one.

Now the problem is I'm pretty lowered and when I am full lock it almost already touches. Front specs are 19x9 +35 235/35/19.

Does anyone run similar specs and have spacers up front?

Did you trim your fenders like this?: https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1088888

This will afford you quite a bit of space without rubbing.

Otherwise, 3 and 5mm hubcentric spacers are cheap on eBay. Buy both and see which will get you closest without scrubbing hard

Okay I'll look into that.

I ended up ordering 10mm spacers guess I'll see and deal with the slight rub if it happens.

Just by eye, that looks tighter than 10mm.

Hope you got extended lugs with them also.

Yep it's the BMS spacers so they come with lugs.
