My personal opinion is to just go with 5mm spacers as they are not large enough to make any real noticeable difference in an otherwise OEM suspension setup (saying you are on OEM or close to it). Especially if the rims you are swapping into have a difference in offset/width from stock, you have already changed the "feel" of the car more than you are going to notice 5mm of clearance.
Once again, just my personal opinion. Messing with the geo of the rim is risky business and should be done very very precisely if so, or you are going to severely mess with the pretty precise weight/balance of the wheel itself. Even at a machine shop. That being said, I know it can be done, and if the 5mm makes that big of a difference when it comes to having it flush/looks then it might be worth it. Spacers are not the end of the world for handling, my father has a Cayman GTS and it even has dealership options for spacers to be added.
