Default Big spinner prop question

I am building a Dave Platt Me109G using a large electric motor ( Scorpion )

From checking motor charts and doing the math , It seems a 22 X 14 2 blade prop might be best for my set up.
I plan to stick with 2 blade, but need to order the prop.

But the spinner is almost 6 inches across. So a six inch center portion of the prop is blanked out by the spinner.

Anybody given thought to how a big spinner affects prop performance vs a no spinner warbird like a Corsair.

Like, does one need to increase diameter if the spinner is huge?

Thanks
