Do I need wheel spacers

I'm about 1/4" from edge of rim to inner front fender
The rear is less or about 3/16"

I see videos from Eibach which they measured from edge of rim to the outside of the fender instead. This measurement would be close to 3/8" for me

+1, it's entirely subjective. Based on the photos I'd say this looks fine. Fairly flush for a standard setup, definitely don't think it looks bad! If anything, adding spacers may cause some rubbing issues if your fenders aren't rolled. Looks like you can probably get away with a 3-5mm if you really want to give it a shot.

Have any shots of your whole car?

Nice! Fitment looks spot on. Like mentioned above ^ you may have room for a 3-5mm, though, may be on the border of rubbing/fender modification

Can I run 5mm spacers for the front and no spacer for the rear?
I think the rear is well flush imo

Judging from this angle.. rear looks spot on. Front could use a bump though

Yes, precisely. 9.5 ET38 + 5mm spacer will EFFECTIVELY be 9.5 ET33
