What size and who's spacers? I have an Audi 5MM set on order and I am not sure they are big enough.

Default people generally don't use spacers strictly for performance reasons.
the only real use is to accommodate larger brakes and/or low offset wheels...and for cosmetics. the slight increase in track comes at the price of a slight increase in stress on the dampers/springs, which theoretically could increase wear and decrease performance.

Default those are 10mm front and back... I do get a slight bit of
rubbing in the front under really agressive driving. The rubbing is just the tire touching the wheel well liner.
