I run 18.5mm spacers on sustained 2.4g grip load. I don't recommend you do anything over a hub centric 5mm on your 5x100 as we shat the OE bearings on 5x114 with 10mm but we now don't run OEM bearings and it's solved it.

You also use them for a completely different purpose than him.

Yup^ no more than 5mm... If you want flush, go flush (18x10's and coils) if not don't do it

5mm will not make any aesthetic difference. Even something like a 3-5mm is totally pointless for you.

Why do you think you need 18x9 wheels? You know that this go against the 2 things you said you wanted right?

my badd, i was thinking about 16x8 or 17x9, wanna try keeping the car in stock height, might lower it 1" low but worried about the tires might rub, dont wanna roll fenders or slamm the car to the ground, wanna get a Rally look on it,

Research what tires are available in wider small diameter wheels as you tend to have limited options so look it up before buying!
