Default RSR downs on stock wheels with or without spacers

Are many members here running RSR downs on stock wheels on AWD 3is without spacers? I am planning on having this done and i'm wondering if this setup will work fine without spacers. By that I mean, will there be any issues with rubbing, etc if I decide not to use spacers. It has been recommended to me to use 20mm spacers in the front for looks. Do the tires look too tucked in without spacers?

Thanks!

There are no issues with just adding the RSR Downs with the tires rubbing. The spacers are just for looks to push the wheels further out to get rid of the "tucked look" as you mentioned.

^^ +1. The trend seems to be 25mm in the front and 20mm in the rear.

If you're not running spacers, there is nothing you can do to the suspension that can make stock rims/tires rub or cause other issues. yes they will look "tucked" but wheels for cars are designed to be "tucked" for good reasons. I personally would not mess with that just for looks.
