Sounds like you can safely go with 7mm in front and either 15mm or 18mm in rear depending on how aggressive/flush you want to sit. Is your car lowered?
i need the wheels to fill the wells and to be kinda in-line with fenders,,
Please confirm tire sizes but in theory you will be fine with 7mm front and 15mm rear - should put you fairly flush. Since your vehicle is not lowered, you can also go with the 18mm rears for an aggressive look.
i am kinda happy with the look of rear tires but not so much happy with the fronts,,
how about 7mm all around??
You can run 7mm all around for sure if you are currently happy with the look of the rear but want it a bit more flush...
i am sure 7 is enough for rears,, but fronts?

i used 7mm spacers in the front on my 02 996 C2- Rears fit perfectly and don't need any spacers but fronts definitely look better with the 7MM spacers.
i've the X-74 suspension and 18" sportechno rims- 8" ET 50 rims in front with 235/40-18, and 11"ET 63 rims in rear with 295/30-18.

For your particular scenario, you may want to measure the front to see if 7mm will be enough for you. I typically wouldn't recommend the 15mm for front. Many customers with your same setup go with 7mm front and 15mm rear running the 265 tire. Again, if you like the looks of the rear, try 7mm in just the front or all around - it will look much more flush than what you are currently running.
i have a brand new set of eibach 15mm spacers with longer lugbolts if you need. i ended up buying new wheels instead of using spacers. lmk if you need it.
the eibach kit also comes with the stud kit so you dont have to use lugbolts. you can go either way.
