That car is lowered. Wouldn't those size spacers look weird on a car not lowered?
100%. lowering the vehicle naturally increases camber. Camber will tuck the top of the wheel in allowing for more aggressive fitment.
Anyone lowered should not generally recommend sizes for people who aren't lowered and don't plan to lower. 12mm not lowered look mexi flush in the front, IMO. Plus it makes the front more aggressive than the rear. Not to mention, even with 5mm spacers I really destroyed the side of my car with the additional rocks the tires were able to sling down the side of the car.

Added some OE MB tire stem caps, because mine was apperently missing one. Crazy.
Put some paddle shifter extensions on. Torn on whether or not I will keep them on. They look a lot bigger than what I was hoping. However, they are pretty handy..pun intended.

I didn't even think about rocks and other debris hitting the side of the car. Good call.
If I'm planning on putting spacers in the back only (~10-12 mm, minimal) and not the front, do you think the rock chips are still a concern?
