No you don't need to worry about this. Mine are 1 foot from the front wall (the back of the speaker is 1 foot away I mean). I think the 1/5 guideline you are talking about is referring to the front of the speaker anyway. Sure the further away from the walls the better as far as wall reflections, but most of us have these types of limitations.

I am sure they will sound great to you, wherever you need to place them.
