Optimal spacers size?

I have an e92 and I just got new wheels 19 x 8 and 19 x 9 running on Falken FK452s 225/35 R19 and 265/30 R19. Car is on stock sport suspensions and my fenders are not rolled, but I'm planning to get KWs and roll my fenders by the end of the year. Right now, I'm a little disappointed on how my rears look, offsets on the rear are 39. My question is what would be the optimal spacers size I can use given my current wheel/tire/suspension set up with no rubbing and with unrolled fenders? 10mm or 12mm or 5mm? I was thinking 10mm considering the wheel width is 9, bit I'm not pretty sure. Also debating on which brand I should get H & R or Rogue Eng?

Thanks for you input

I think the 10mm spacers would be perfect. I have a set of new H&R spacers in stock, let me know if you want a pair. I've got bolts too!!!

Rogue Engineering has the bolts in black that they say is a close match for the OEM bolts. I've ordered a pair of 15mm with then black bolts but haven't received them yet.
