Default OEM 16" wheels & Spacers/Offset Question

I'm looking to get hubcentric spacers since for now the car will be used for daily driving to commute from home to school and back. Can't afford big wheels right now considering I just bought the car so it will have to wait. Yeah i got stuck with the dinky 16" wheels when i purchased the car.

The wheels are OEM 16", 7.5" wide, +50 offset.
Tires are 225/55/R16.

I want the flushest look possible WITHOUT any fender mods or rubbing issues!!! I will be dropped on tanabe coilovers shortly after and keeping a 1-2 finger gap still.

I've been searching and some people run 15/20, 20/25, 25/30 mm spacers on the front/rear with OEM wheels.

Right now I am leaning more towards the 20/25 mm spacers. Would this be fine or would the 25/30 mm spacers fit better for what i am looking for?

Fronts will be.. 16x7.5 +30 w/ 225/55/16 tire (using a 20mm spacer)
Rears will be.. 16x7.5 +25 w/ 225/55/16 tire (using a 25 mm spacer)

or

Fronts will be.. 16x7.5 +25 w/ 225/55/16 tire (using a 25mm spacer)
Rears will be.. 16x7.5 +20 w/ 225/55/16 tire (using a 30mm spacer)


Not many people run 16" oem wheels with spacers so the answer was rather hard to find. I just want to be 100% sure before I make the order!
Any help would be great!
