just put my wheels on need advice...

i bought some used oem wheels on ebay...they are from a e63. the wheels fit fine and everything but for some reason the front right wheel rubbed the strut and the left one did not. We even switched wheels to see if one was bent well it wasnt. So i have to use spacers. Well right now i have the cheepy 5mm ones because thats all i had. It worked! well i am not keeping them on there because i dont feel they are safe i want to go with the H&R ones to keep it safe. But the issue now is the front wheels stick out a little more than the rears...so what size spacers will i need? 5mm in the front 10 in the back? and are the safe? i just want it to look good and be safe is all. lol dont we all!! thanks guys...

Plenty of people here are using H&R spacer, so I believe they are safe. I would definitely go with a bigger spacer in the back than the front. What are the ET's on the wheels
