Default Anyone dropped with stock wheels, no spacers?

From the pics below of the preproduction models, obviously wheel gap wasn't a factor. I've decided to get an exhaust and coilover now and think about spacers or wheels. For now, has anyone just dropped the car with coilovers or spring and kept stock wheels, with no spacers? Thanks.

I don't have any pictures without the spacers, but I remember it looked weird dropped without spacers. Made the car look anemic.

BC Coilovers. It's a temp setup right now while I figure out what I'm doing with wheels. Spacers should be coming in soon which will will help the look a little. Rides great though.

If u Google Lexus RCF NAIAS you'll see plenty of pics and the prototype looks dropped to me. Didn't look too bad imo. I wonder if Lexus used spacers. If it's too much of an eyesore I'll consider the spacers

That's what I was going for; a drop plus better dampening than stock

I decided to go with blox 15mm spacers temporarily. I got the RSR coilovers installed. I'm going to have the fronts lowered another 1/2 inch before an alignment. I'm going to get wheels soon.

Sitting nicely! The BC Coilovers I pictured above was at its highest setting so I'm switching over to RSR's.

Final adjustments another 1/2 inch in the front. in addition to the 15mm spacers, my wheels at 35mm offset and 9.5 width

will add another 8mm in the front. I think I should be ok.
