Default Wheel Spacer Offset Fitment Question

I'd like to install TSW Bathurst in 20x10 w/ 275/30/20 tires. This wheel comes in the following offsets: 25, 35, 40.

I've seen a car with the ET25 installed and it looked a bit too much like poke to my eye. So I thought I'd go with the 35 and run 5mm spacers to get close to flush. However, I've been reading that 5mm spacers aren't hubcentric and can cause all sorts of vibration issues as they don't sit as flush as 10mm+ spacers. So because of this I was thinking of going ET40 with 10mm spacers (assuming it will clear the calipers with the 10mm spacers).

Can anyone offer some advice on this?

Thanks!!!

I just posted last night my setup with 20/10 ET 25 with 275 tires and in my opinion it sits perfect. I feel like if you are spending the money on wheels, get them sized so you don’t need spacers but just my two cents.

So yeah just saw your post and that et25 looks perfect!!
