I was considering in spacers for the stance of the car. I was curious with the falken 452 i'm running now Fronts 20x9 w/ 245/35/20 Rears 20x10 w/ 275/30/20 and the 5MM spacers in the front and the 15MM in the rear will it rub? And would it be agressive enough of an stance before the tires actually rub on the fenders. Oh ya one more thing the car is on Premium suspension not Sport. Any advice or inputs are welcome.

Try measuring it by yourself:
This is how I've done it, and it works. Just keep keep a common sense with you when determining the right size for the spacer, don't over do it.

you wont rub on the inside but depending on the height of the tire sidewalls you may have to roll your front fenders
honestly id do 15mm rear and 10/12mm front and just roll it
