spacer suggestions?

I have an 06 325i lowered on H&R sport springs on 18x8.5 et30/ 225/40 in the front and 18x9.5 et35/ 245/40 in the rear. Im looking for a pretty flush fitment but I dont know what size spacer to get for front/rear, and Im not sure if Ill need to roll my fenders or not so I figured id ask before making any moves. Pics of fitment with a description of the setup (wheel specs, tire size, lowering kit/springs, spacer size) would be great! Thanks!

Check out the 5000 threads about spacers. Do the math based on backspacing and wheel widths to calculate the spacer width you need to match someone else's setup. Not everyone is likely to have your same wheel width and offsets.

Ive looked through countless discussions on spacers and cant find exactly what Im looking for. I don't need people with the exact specs to respond, just close to mine so I can get an idea. I want flush fitment, but no fender rolling unless I absolutely have to.

Thanks for the helpful suggestions I was just trying to see who had similar specs with spacers and see how their fitment was.

I looked in my wheel wells in the rear and noticed I have about 5mm between my tire and the plastic/ rough textured liner in the wheel well and where it attaches to the rear bumper. So, is there something I can do to maybe slap a 10-15mm spacer in the rear without any rubbing on that liner? Attached is a pic of where Im at now (doesnt show the area Im concerned about though). Useful comments would be awesome...
