My question is that do you guys think that a regular 10mm HUBCENTRIC wheel spacers would work on mine for the front? Btw, mine is 4matic. Thank you.

Capped front spacers are required for width of 10mm or above. Stock wheels should clear these spacers. If they do not or aftermarket wheels are used, then a bit more conservative path is required - 5mm flat spacers.

Dust caps are smaller than the spacer hole.
From my research you can use up to 3 mm flat spacers, when still using hub rim for wheel centering, or those that Jabberwock linked have to be much thicker and I could not find them thinner than 12 mm.

@Jabberwock you're absolutely correct, thanks bro! I installed a 12mm wheel spacers with hubcentric and it fits in perfect. I drove my car up to 80mph and there's no any vibration. I'm currently running (FRONT) 19x8.5 +23 on 245/35r19, my front wheels sticks out about 2-3mm but no rubbing so far. Once again, thanks for the input!!!
