10.5 will need a larger spacer up front than the 10" wheel, regardless of camber. Since the inner and outer clearances are both decreased by 6.3mm, you'll want a 10mm spacer and a lot more camber.
If a 5mm is fine, why do you want more clearance? Peace of mind?

I am at the point of deciding whether to use the 5mm spacer, try a 12.5mm spacer and see if that works with my alignment and outer clearance or go a spring swap (as in Slicers' thread regarding clearance issues).
