Default bad if lowered on stock wheels w/o spacers?

I plan on lowering with gf210 springs with stock 17in wheels, but dont know if i should get spacers with the drop. People with gf210s who posted pics didnt say whether they were lowered with spacers or not.

Members also posted that spacers werent very safe, due to vibrations or weird noises, im not sure, can someone clarify/verify this?

how hard is it to install spacers, is it installed simply by removing tire, adding spacer, and mounting tire?

Last question, should i get an allignment after springs and spacers are installed? or get the allignment after springs have settled, then install the spacers? or does it matter at all? thanks i hope somebody can answer my question.

if you're looking to have your stocks flushed with the fenders, then yes you would need spacers.

if not, then spacers are not required with the springs.

also, yes get an alignment after the springs have settled.

it will look bad since the 17 " offsets aren't going to be flush with your fenders so it will look indented in =(
the install is depending on how wide your spacers are the wider you have to use longer studs thats very hard to do i've not heard of a Z being messed up by spacers
