Mockups help. Only those can help.
Use a ruler beside you for scale and try.

180cm with short arms will mog 171cm with perfect proportions.

There is no point comparing yourself to a 180cm man who was born like that naturally, as that option isn't on the table. Your options are be a 171cm manlet or a 180cm human being with longish legs. The second option is clearly better.

It should naturally be close to a 1:1 ratio, there's always humerus lengthening

People care, and soon you'll look like a short man on stilts if you go above 6cm on any limb.
Anyone else saying otherwise is coping.

180cm with short arms will be ashamed of going out in shorts, a normal man will not be.

Not everyone is obsessed like you.

I read a few post that some guys have 4 inches of short wingspan. But they were like 6'6 and with a 6'2 wingspan . They already big to be worrying of something like that

Just do what you want to do, if you don't care to have t-rex arms or what anyone else says about them more power to you. I just stayed within the 1:1 ration even though I could've added 1 more inch but that was my personal preference because I like symmetry and want to get be able to sprint for sports. I'm at 176.5 cm which i was very happy with, with a 176 cm wingspan.

I feel that humorous lengthening is out of this norm. But I would go for 3 cm if anything. One month of lengthening but my arm would be sore when I'm eating n stuff for a yr.

This is a woman poster so disregard everything she says. Women have no clue about men or men's problems, and for that reason you should never trust a woman doctor either.

Your options OP do not include being a 'normal man' at 180cm. Your options are 171cm manlet or 180cm with long legs/short arms, those are the only options on the table so fantasising about some life where you're 180cm, still look totally normal in shorts, and can sit on the beach with no issue isn't worth the time, this option is not and never will be on the table. Obviously anyone who isn't trolling or gaslighting you will say 180cm is still better even if you can't wear your shorts (which might not even be true, but even if it is, it's still going to be better being 180 over 171).

Dr. Paley and Dr. Birkholtz both offer humerus lengthening packages. Dr. Rozbruch has also presented on humerus lengthening with Precice before. I think it's only a matter of time before humeral lengthening becomes less niche of a surgery, with the growing popularization of standard LL surgery and the inherent wingspan disproportionality that comes with it.
