Need info on spring pads

Hello all. I have been searching the forums and have not found a clear answer to this; I am wondering how much each dot on the spring pad represents as height? ie, how much difference in height between 4 dots and 5 dots? I am getting new wheels and will look to shrink the wheel well gap and I need to know if getting shorter pads will help before I consider a suspension (since I am having great difficulty finding a reasonable setup for W212 e550 4matic without air suspension. I can find springs, but no lowered shocks, and the coilover options are cheap BC or Godspeed, or ridiculous priced KW3). Thanks in advance.
