they are making wheels popout by some mm-s.

so if i make 15-20 mm on stock rear wheels, will it be ok?
and what about handling? anybody knows some issues about it on high speeds?

You should be fine with those numbers. Just do a search on here for them. Do you plan on lowering in the future?

I am currently running Manual transmission Aspec suspension, with 25mm spacers all around on Type-S rims. The spacers make the wheels sit flush with the fenders, but you will need to roll the rear fenders since TL's do not have the capability to add camber with stock control arms.

^if you have stock wheels, most people run a 20mm in the rear and a 15mm in the front.

I am trying really hard to be patient but really, if you google "acurazine and ________________" you will find any number of repeated threads on it.

The short answer is yes, you will be fine, which is why he suggested it. If you get a hubcentric one, you won't have to worry about vibrations. Especially on the rear.
