   No spacers needed, shouldn't rub unless you are lowered but if it does rub then it will be on the arch.

   They will fit fine without spacers mate, but may rub on the rear arches if your car is lowered. You maye have to cut/bend the arch away from the wheel if lowered.

   From personal experience, the only times you're likely to get rubbing on the rear is if you've either lowered the rear or have more than 1 person in the back. Either way, all you need to do is take a hammer to the little lip that is just on the top edge of the arch and knock/bend it up and out of the way. Problem sorted. You won't have any problems with rubbing on the inside of the arch nor will you have problems with rubbing when lowered on the front.
   
   I'm down -45 on the front and the rear arch sits about an inch over the top of the tyre and i don't get any rubbing at all.
