Need recommendations on spacer size

Hello, so currently I have only 15mm spacers in the rear on my car. But I'm wanting to make it as aggressive as I can. My specs are 19x9.5 +19 245/35/19 and 19x10.5 +24 (+15mm spacer so effective offset is +9) 275/35/19. I'm also running -2.1 camber in the rear. So you guys think I can move the rear spacers to the front and then buy 20mm or 25mm spacers for the rear? Or would that rub alot? I have the rear fenders rolled flat. Also, I plan on getting coils over the summer to lower it a little more...

Please lmk ASAP as I've found a couple of good deals on spacers.
Here's some pics for reference:

Looks pretty flush already, if you replace it with thicker spacers, you will hit the fender irregardless of it being rolled unless you run narrow tires and go stretched on those rear wheels.

Next time around when I need new tires I was going to go ahead and run a stretch. But I bought these tires no too long ago...so it's probably best to just wait till then and then decide?? Also will probably be getting coils around that same time.

I would think that you could do another 5mm front and rear, but not much more without rubbing. I would wait until you get the coilovers and new tires. You can go further with a little stretch + being lower.

Wanna sell those 15mm spacers?

+1^ Get the coils & tires 1st.

Personally I think the rears are perfect,
the fronts could maybe use 5mm spacers to be perfectly flush with your current setup.
Are u going to be running 30 series tires?
Might want to make sure you're going to be cool with that rough of a ride before dropping the cash.

On the plus side, it looks good as it is.
