5mm is a bad spacer length as it is too small to extend the hub.

Note that 10mm is a spacer length that may have wheel compatibility issues due to the side of bevel needed to support the hub extension. Not an issue with stock BMW wheels, but it occasionally comes up. My Fikses can't fit on 10mm spacers, for example.

All that said, I would not go larger than 12/10 based on the pictures that you show, unless you're planning to add camber.
