Question Spacer Width Advice Needed for Winter Setup

I plan to mount the winter tire/wheel combo from my previous 335i onto my Z4 M coupe and am seeking advice on spacer width. Tirerack recommended a 5mm spacer just for the front wheels in order to avoid any potential wheel weight clearance issues with the brakes, however I'd like to push out the wheels so they don't look too tucked in (but tucked in just enough so that salt and sand doesn't kick back onto the car). Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

WINTER SETUP TO BE MOUNTED (all around)
Tires: 225/45-17
Wheels: 17x7.0 / Offset +35mm

OEM SPECS (for comparison)
Front: 18x8 / Offset +42mm / 225/45-18
Rear: 19x8 / Offset +30mm / 255/40-18
