Spacer Advice - E60 XI Style 124 ET43/55 on E90 Pre-LCI

Sorry for yet another episode of, "Will These Fit My Car?!?!?".

I just took ownership of a 2008 328xi 6MT Sport the other week. I have a BMW indy that had a set of Style 124s off a E60 535 (xi as I figured out). He thought they were off an I (which has offsets of 20/32). Come to find out, these are not the offsets and instead are 18x8 ET43 and 18x9 ET55.

My questions at this point are:
  1. Are these offsets too great to fix with spacers? I'd be looking at at least 10-15mm Front, and 25MM rear.
  2. How large a spacer do folks feel comfortable with? I personally never liked them in theory...

Adding spacers also adds to the cost of this mod, which was not planned, so I'm not thrilled all around, but unsure I'll be able to find wheels for a better price than what it would cost to buy these and spacers. It's just the size of the spacers (specifically rear) that I'm concerned about.

Thanks in advance for any insight and guidance!
