Widest Wheel Spacers on Front

What is the widest wheel spacers people have used on the front 2 wheels?
I can't decide between 20, 25 or 30mm.

I have 30mm on the back, so 30mm on the front would probably look best, but would it foul anything when turning?

The H&R 20mm spacers are perfect for the front application. If you run 30mm up front then the wheels stick out beyond the fender wells and looks odd.

Below are 25mm front. I moved from 15mm front and am happy with 25mm. FYI I am on OEM Style 87 and lowered on the air system. It is hard to get a good sense of the spacers from the photos. No issues turning with 25mm up front. I have 30mm rear.

Hot Dam your ride sits and looks sweet with the monochromatic trim effect.

I have H&R DRA 30 mm in rear and ECS 20 mm with extended lugs in front. My e53 is moderately lowered with air settings.

it all depends on what your wheel offset is. Since you never mentioned anything about aftermarket or factory wheels, its impossible to tell.
