you'll only need them if you get wider tires. if you are still running stock tires, you should be just fine as is

a wider stance is a good thing as it will lower your COG but in some areas, having your tires stick out past the fenders will get you in trouble with the local law enforcement. just something to consider.

Don't need the spacers but the wide look is nice. This is a 2.5'' BB with 33x12.5 tires on 15'' wheels.
