    The answer depends on which hinge opening-angle and which hinge plate you bought. If you bought Blum and can find part numbers, I can look it up in the the catalog for you. Or you can go swim around the www.wwhardware.com web site, where they have all the Blum mounting info. For other manufacturers, see www.cabinetparts.com.

    In my experience with concealed hinges 5mm is a good setting

    I use Salice brand. I just set them a little less than 1/8". Never got that metric thing down, don't want to start now.
    Even if you don't quite get the right distance, the adjustments in the hinge will compensate for it.

    I use 3mm (1/8") for my Blum 120 degree 1/2" overlay hinges.
