I’ve just started to have a look for some hub centric spacers for my E85 and it seems there are a lot of different manufacturers on eBay etc. I understand the implications if one fails, so are there specific brands to avoid? as there seems to be quite a variance in price.
I’m running 19 x 9.5 ET 50’s on the rear, and I think I could get away with another 10mm poke comfortably, so looking at options. Currently running 255 30 19’s but will follow Mr Wilks advice and go up to 35 profile when I replace them in future.
I think my fronts could also gain another 5mm or so, they are 19 x 8.5 ET 40. There are running 225/35/19’s
Many thanks.

Stick with Bimmec, Eibach or H&R and you'll be fine - and make sure you get the correct bolts included for the extra depth required and the correct seating (i.e. round/tapered).
Unless it's from a recognised supplier, I'd stay away from ebay.
