I'm trying to get my front tires dialed in.... With et52 & 245 tires. My concern is running a 5-7mm spacer without a hub extender for the wheel to rest on. Should I just go with a 10mm spacer with the proper extended hub?

You may need more than that to clear the front strut with a tire what wide. Extend the hub.

yes, go with a 10mm spacer

10mm may not be enough to clear the front strut (assuming stock suspension). With 235 Michilin (PS A/S 3) I am still touching it (barely) with ET42. YMMV
