Need help with right size spacers

I have fit a square set up on my pre lci e90xi 328, they are 18 by 8.5 vmr 710 with an offset of 35 , tires are 235 40 , I don't like how the rims are sitting in the back, what is the biggest size spacer I can put in the back to push them out? Thanks in advance

15mm would make them equivalent to what most vendors sell on here.

You should go 18mm from BMS. Maybe 5-10mm in front. 10 might be pushing it tho

10mm up front will be fine.

i had a 12 mm and a 18 mm in rear with the 718s ET35, but feel like 15mm would be optimum.

i personally like the way this setup handles w/o spacers, eventhough the rear is tucked in, i can slide around corners better, but then i have the LSD as well.
