I love the factory wheels but they just look a little small on the car. Wondering if adding 10mm spacers front and rear or going one size wider(265/295) on tires will make them look a little bigger, anyone?

IMO, you should save your money on the upping tire size... unless you are due for new tires, then, sure "why not?". Personally, I'd stick w/ stock size tires if keeping stock wheels.
Now, on the subject of spacers. I use my stock wheels for winter. I have tried running 8mm spacers up front and 10mm out back. The car looks good. Problem is, finding hub centric 10mm spacers for the front. The ones for the rear do NOT work at the front. The 8mm were lug centric. It leaves just ~2mm of hub to mount your wheel on. Car drove fine around town, but, once you get the car to 90 mph... it vibrates. Not cool. I should note my car has CCBs. I don't know if the hubs in the models w/ steel brakes are the same. H&R supposedly makes a Hub centric 10mm spacer for the front, but, I once found some info on the web saying it won't allow you to use your center cap.

If you think they look small just get a new set of wheels. Go 20’s in size with the proper width and offset will give you the proper stance you are looking for. That is much better than running into vibration issues in higher speed.

I really don't wanna go with 20's as this is my dd and want to retain the ride quality. My previous E63 was on the KW kit with factory double 5 spoke CLS63 wheels(1/2" wider and slightly more aggressive rear offset)and though it looked perfect it suffered in ride quality. My Porsche is also on KW and also suffered in ride quality compared to factory but i don't drive it much so the tradeoff is worth it. Anyone know if the CLS63 10 spoke wheels are wider than the same wheels for the E63?
