Smile Lowering springs or wheel spacers?

I have a 335xi sedan with 19" Alufelgen CS7 wheels. The dimensions are 19x8.5 ET35mm & 19x9.5 ET35mm with 235/35/19 & 265/30/19.

I dont like how there is a space between the wheels and the fenders. Also in the front it seems like the wheels look a little narrow. I understand the setup I have is staggered but can I put spacers in only the front to make it look better?

Anyone have suggestions? Also feel free posting your setups if you have a similar e90 with similar rims.

Both? I would lower it first and then measure for spacers

Garage List
Would not do lowering springs without replacing dampers and bumpstops. You will be hitting/riding on the bumpstops (aka explosion over unevenness/bumps/potholes) even more than your OEM setup. Search the forum in this or the xDrive section for more info.
