I would like my next 914 to have nice 17" or 18" turbo twist rims along with my flares.
I will be looking at adding spacers to my hubs and was wondering how wide can I or should I go??

you're asking the wrong question ... because it all depends on the offset of your wheels. if you don't know that, there's no answer to your question ...

figure out which wheel you like, get the offset, then see if you can get studs and spacers wide enough. the longest studs are 100mm which leaves you with about 7cm of possible spacer width. unless you use bolt-ons ...

either way, you gotta figure out what wheels first ...

standard rear GT flare allows for a 9" wide wheel, front for a 8" wide wheel ...
