M223 Wheels

Hello forum

Got the staggered M223 wheels with 255 tires in front and 285 back
Also goth the extended fenders.
However think the fenders really is made for the wider 20" wheels and as such the 19" 223 looks 'a bit skinny'.
I am not going to swob to the 20" wheels due to several reasons: more expensive, seems like there is quite many issues with uneven wear (have not read about this with the 19"), less comfortable, and finally the fact that I already goth the 223 and with almost new tires (4000 km).

Is there anybody having experience with using spacers (like 20-30mm) and by this get this 'wider' look?
If yes, which size is recommended, both front and back. And how much longer bolts is needed
Is there any downside using spacers?

Thanks in advance

Cheers from Switzerland
