Do I need spacers

I newly fitted 265/75R16 Toyo Open Country MS tyres and black 16x7" Modular steel rims on my 110.
I also put on 30 mm spacers on all four. Nice look but the wheels now stick out a little to much underneath the standard wheel arches and I get mud all over the car sides. I don´t want to fit bigger flexi arches as I use smaller tyres during winter.
If I take away the spacers, will I then have problems with the steering performance and will the front tyres touch

Might have to lengthen the steering stops a little to stop them rubbing on the hockey sticks at full lock. Always run my defenders on 265/75s and the ones that came off 235/85s never needed adjusting.
