What's your camber now? How much more camber does your adjustability give you? I'm surprised that you ran out of strut space before you ran out of camber range... I guess that's because you're not running coil-overs?
As far as an answer, imagine you've got 5mm more space between the wheel and strut, and now imagine tipping the wheel into that space. Without having an exact drawing of your suspension geometry, the size of the struts, the size of the wheels/tires, etc you're going to be able to guess much more accurately having actually looked at the problem first hand than anyone on the boards.
As far as running spacers... I don't think I'd run any sized spacer without an extended lug bolt. Every mm you space the wheel is a mm less threads you're not using since the stock lug bolts are pretty short to begin with. I've heard 3mm is okay, but 5mm is pushing it.
To be frank, the "right" solution is coilovers and/or different offset wheels. Though some adjustable top mounts would get you there with your existing wheels and struts, since they allow camber adjustment without changing the strut/wheel clearance.
