I would avoid the spacers if possible. Are you getting wheels with square offsets or staggered offset?

Okay that will be fine then. Wheel offset can be used as a tuning tool to alter the 'track' (width between wheels) and hence alter grip. Wider track from lower offset means more grip. With the stock wheels you have a little wider rear track which will keep things in check, if at some point you decide to go with a set of dedicated track wheels that have even offsets all around then you can decide on spacers.

Got ya. So for now spacers are more for show it in my case it seems.
