How could you not find this thread? It's always at or near the top of the "Suspension/Wheels/Tires/Brakes" section:

with 5mm would i need to have longer studs or have them be hubcentric for that small of a size?
could i go larger then 5mm in the back and not have to role the fenders? like 10mm maybe?

Dun worry. Its all gon b k.
.
Just get coilovers and you will be set *thumbs up*.
Stock struts right? On s-techs? Not a good combo anyway. Shorter spring, practcaly stock rate, on a shock designed to have a damping curve for 1.5-2 inches more travel Even if you put more tire on the car its not using that tire effectively. So this could be a good opportunity to upgrade!
Think positive
Then when you get coil-overs on your car you can adjust it and make it look really nice on your wheels *nod nod* plus have a shock that is made to handle those heights. Itll look much nicer ^_^
