I say not since it's gonna make minimal difference.
When I had spacers on my old set of wheels, I always had a fear that the bolts might shear off when I was doing heavy track work.
Also, you'll be adding plenty of unsprung weight.

I have the same rims but +12 all around 9.5 wide 245 40 tires and it's super agressive up front and I'm throwing a 15 mm spacer in the back. Really is super agressive.

the size of the spacer subtracts from the offset so:
you have +20 offset
10mm spacer will make that:
20-10 = +10 offset
or 15mm spacer:
20-15 = +5 offset.
you can just take a tape measure and measure how much farther out you want your wheels.

I think mild spacers are okay (5mm~15mm). But going over board on it (20mm +) defeats the purpose of handling, stability, longevity of bearings, stud fatigue, etc, imho.
Ichiba, H&R, Project Kics are quality spacers.

no, do not bow to peer pressure or the fad of putting spacers on a car that does not need them. if you wheels are the proper offset, there is no need to use these at all.
