Please help with spacers

I just got some new tires and at the same time i want to put 5mm spacers in the fronts. As we speak they are too far in and want them to look a little more flush. Whats the recommended spacer for our cars, does it need to be hub centric for the fronts?. I have 10mm spacers as we speak that i havent installed i was gonna use them for the rears but they were too aggressive and stuck out in the rears and just put them back to storage. I do have 255/35/19 fronts and my new tires are 245/40/19's.

I have a '14 w/ CCB's. If the hubs are the same size, you'll absolutely need to have hubcentric spacers for the fronts. I ran 8mm LUGcentric spacers (w/ the stock 19 wheels and 245/40/19's) last winter in the front and I'd get vibrations driving past 90 mph. There was barely 2-3mm of hub left for the wheel to sit on w/ the 8mm spacers. The 10mm are just fine in the rear w/ the stock wheel/tire set up (you could even go w/ a 12mm if you wanted to). Do note that the 10mm hubcentric spacers H&R sells for the rear of the car are NOT interchangable w/ the fronts. The hub sizes are different. Trust me. I checked.
