I am from Italy, where the average height is 177cm. It’s harsh; my primary concern is not dating but being perceived as a man among others rather than as a child or someone with a disability. Regrettably, I am unable to undergo limb lengthening due to financial constraints and the inability to afford losing more than one year of my life confined to a wheelchair. Additionally, I am convinced that limb lengthening would result in me resembling a T-rex or a midget on stilts.
An individual here underwent 8cm on femurs and expresses dissatisfaction with his proportions, so exercise caution when making decisions and taking measurements; it is not a trivial matter.
My body measurements are as follows:
Sitting height: 85cm, measured while seated on the floor with my back pressed against the wall as firmly as possible. Is this measurement accurate? (I am dealing with a mild case of kyphosis and anterior pelvic tilt, which I am working to correct)
Wingspan: 165cm (this measurement concerns me the most as I do not wish to lengthen my arms)
Inseam: 73cm
I am unable to calculate my tibia/femur ratio due to the absence of X-rays, but my femurs have always appeared short due to my naturally thick legs, even without any training)
Do you believe that at 170cm/5’7″, I would appear odd or unusual with these measurements? My torso seems short to me, but I believe I will maintain the 49/50% sitting height to height ratio.

Although I have not seen you in person, I have simulated 7cm extensions to myself, and it appears satisfactory. I will not sugarcoat it; your proportions will not be perfect anymore, but you will not resemble a t-rex.
PS: Some individuals have short arms but broad shoulders, which broadens the wingspan but looks less appealing after limb lengthening, while others have narrow shoulders but long arms, which is the opposite).
