spacers for rear: yes or no?

I have a stock 1971 1302. My plan includes lowering the front 1½-2 inches, and the rear 0-½ inch. I am planning to buy front and rear disc brakes drilled to a 5x100 pattern, a strut tower bar, front and rear anti-sway bars, a flip-it bump steer kit, caster fix bushings from TopLine. I have 16x6½-et42 wheels which will have 205/55-16 tires.

Given that the track of a 1302 is wider in the front and the wheels I like do not come in varying widths, should I use spacers on the rear wheels to compensate? It is estimated that the outside edge of the wheel will extend an extra 17mm (0.68 in) already.
