Front 12 or 15 mm spacers for ET45

I recently purchased a CPO 2012 OB E350 with AMG 5 spoke wheels (code 795) and 321 Sport Package. I have placed an order for H&R 52728 lowering springs today and I do not plan to change my stock wheels anytime soon.

I was looking to have the wheel spacers installed at the same time as lowering springs. Searching the forum indicates for rear I should get 20mm spacers (H&R DRA 40556654) as my rear ET on 5 spoke AMG wheels is 54.

For, the front I am confused since the forum members who used 15mm spacers had 6 spoke AMG wheel with ET48. The 5 spoke AMG has a ET 45. So, I am wondering, perhaps 15mm (DR 3055665) maybe too aggressive? and should go for 12mm? The problem is DR 2455665 (12mm) is listed for rear only. Any suggestions, thoughts? TIA
