And, generally speaking, on our cars the sweet spot is 20mm rear, 15mm front? What brands or sellers are recommended?

Yes, for totally flush. Any major brand hubcentric spacers are fine. ECS, urotuning, shopDAP and BMS all have complete kits with longer bolts (and wheel locks if you want them).

Just happen to have a set of Spulens, flush kit for sale on this site. They ran perfect and looked great but I traded out my stock wheels

Got a video of it?

I'll see if I can get one if the BK drive through is slow one day.

What's the difference between activating Sport Mode by pushing the gear shifter down and using the infotainment system? Pushing the gear shifter down doesn't change the infotainment screen, but does add an "S" letter to my dash which indicates sport mode. Are these different modes or is the software just not written well? (2019 GTI btw).

Different modes. The gear shifter changes shift points to keep rpms higher. The one in the infotainment changes a different set of options but I'm not too familiar with that one.

Since when is the GTI take 0W-20 oil? I bought the normal 5W-40 since this is my third GTI but apparently the 2019 is different. Should I not use this weight then and get the VW 0W-20? So irritating!

They changed it in 2019. May be the cause of the stalling issues.

Lightweight oil is for fuel economy, and sometimes for getting oil flow into stubborn parts of the engine. Also increases wear though.

What are these stalling issue you speak of?

Was that a joke? Wouldn't have anything to do with the stalling problem.

If it’s nuking camshafts designed around a different weight oil...

What does that have to do with the 2019 manual trans cars randomly stalling when they come to a stop?

If you follow that thread one member had a dealer monitor the variable timing component lock up and that cause his stalling.

I have noticed when I use the horn I must hit steering wheel buttons, I'll find the radio changed, MFD display different etc. Yesterday when someone pulled right in front of me I found I managed to reset the extended miles/mpg display. I didn't think this was possible w/o going through the radio. Anyone see this?
