Which spacers? 264s w/ Eibach Pro Kit and Koni Sport Yellows 255/35R & 225/40F

My Current setup is:
OEM 264s
Eibach Pro Kit
Koni Yellows
225/40 Front
255/35 Rear

I really need to figure out what size spacers to run. I have rubbed 2x that I know of, both on the passenger side (once in the front, hitting a hard drop in the pavement on a hwy, once in the back on a somewhat hard left turn)

I would like to get the wheels to sit more flush, but I'm paranoid that pushing them out any further may cause more rubbing....

Any ideas? Even possible?

I'd also like to know. I dont have the Koni springs so I think it may be easier for me? Idk.

I'm running KW V1 suspension, I have 12mm spacers front and back. The front I'm thinking about going with 15mm. I only rub with people in the back and large dips but that's rare. I love the look of them.

Mark I told you I would help you buddy.... I would do 10-12mm rear and 12-15mm front obviously error on the conservative side if you feel worried about rub!!

Find out where it is rubbing before you buy spacers. If its rubbing on the inside spacers will help with the rub. If its rubbing on the outside/lip of the fenders, spacers will make it rub more. Rolling the fender lips will help get rid of the outside rubbing.
