Have you noticed overflow in your 5" gutters?
If you have smaller roof square footage, 5" might be ok. Stipes told us that with 6" gutters, fewer downspouts were required. We have a total of 4 - they come down on each corner of the sides of the house, rather than the front or back. You'll need to plan on how the water is moved away from the house under each downspout, otherwise, the flow might be staining the concrete or washing away your landscaping.
