you don't need spacers but if you were to replace them, rather than use stock rubber that rots away I'd use some of the poly replacement stops I think spohn makes one

if you have 17 inch or bigger wheels in 275 or wider tread you should run them with the spacers. this way the tires wont hit the inside slope of the wheel wells.

No rub on my 275/40-R17's :gayfight:

It's 275/40-17, and it's the stock tire size on SS's and WS6's, so why would it cause a rubbing issue?

^^ I agree, I have them on the TA (ws6) and didn't have spacers on it, never had a rubbing issue.
