Rear Wilwood Brake Kit. Spacer needed??

Hi NAM,
I've been running Team Dynamics 1.2, 215/45/17 for a while now. Just wondering, do I need wheel spacers if I install Wilwood Brake Kit rear? I just need to upgrade my brake kit.
What is the pros and cons of having a wheel spacer. Thank you.

I highly doubt it.

The caliper floats but is only about 7/8" above the wheel mount surface. (.870)
