Was thinking 10mm - don’t want all the road waste on the bodywork!
Might put some gauze on the on the vents in the front wing!

Difficult to fit? Do they have recommended torque settings?

Easy to fit, they're hubcentric so you can't go wrong.
Torque setting for wheel bolts is 140nm.

Have a look at the pics of my car Paul. I'm on the Eibach Pro springs with 12mm spacers all round. Will give you an idea weather you like or not...

Looks fine all round although may do 12 mm up front and 10 on the rear. Just want to avoid all the road crap on the car. Now I have noticed the wheel to arch gap on the fronts and could do with lowering but the rear is fine. Will wait until I have decided on the splitter

12mm square set up is the sweet spot, keeps the track width change the same front and rear and no rubbing even on a lowered car.

Good shout - I was erring towards the black spacers. Having looked at a few there are options on bolt lengths and how do I find out which ones are correct?
