What size spacers to go with

I have a completely stock 2019 M5C with black 706 wheels. I increased the width of my front and rear tires, going with 285-35-20 in the front and 295-35-20 in the rear. The stock fitment in the rear with the wider tires is perfect. The front fitment still needs a spacer but I’m not sure what size to get for a flush look. I’m thinking about a 7.5mm, but wanted to get some opinions.

Thanks for your help.

Might need hub extenders with those thin spacers.

With 285/295? That would, in theory, have a similar visual effect to 20F and 15R or 17R….

In my opinion alot of people go with to thick spacers does not look good with the wheels sticking out from fenders.
