Hey there,
Yes, 12f, and 5r is very conservative.
Now, if you are going with 255 front, and 275 rear, I reccomend a 15mm front, and a maximum of 12mm rear, you could get away with a 15mm in the rear depending on the tire brand.
For the stock ZCP tires and wheels, I reccomend an 18mm front, and depending on your taste, a 15mm rear or 18mm rear. Yes that sounds crazy, but the tires are pretty stretched, and it will fit just fine, even on a lowered car with no rubbing. If you want to have it look great and still play it safe my ultimate recommendation would be to do the 18mm front and 15mm rear.
You could of course always downsize the spacers at a later time to the 15mm front and 12mm rear when you do the 255/275 sizes.
I am in SoCal as well. Shoot me a PM and maybe we can meet up some afternoon and you can check out how my car sits.
I will wash the car tomorrow as well and take more pictures at different angles to show how flush/not flush the wheels and tires are.
