Default Wheel spacers off for service? (leased)

I'm just wondering if it's a good idea to take my wheel spacers off before I bring my car in for service. It's a lease and I'm pretty sure they would frown upon adding spacers, but are there consequences for doing that? Thanks for any advice!

The leasing company and the dealer are two different entities. The leasing company would send out their own people for final inspection at the end.

Brings wheels out closer to edge of fender. Purposes as I understand the are:
1) looks (my reason) - combined with lowering springs
2) potentially better handling due to wider stance (probably debatable)

+1, other than commenting on how good it looks.
