I will be getting a set of rpf 17x9 35 offset.from what I've gathered I will need a 20mm spacers up front and no spacers in rear.should I put same spacer on rear wheels so all 4 wheels sit even with body?(dont wanna say flush lol)

I would wait until you actually get them mounted on the car. The front fenders on the evo are really wide, and the rear quarter panel isn't really. Hence why a lot of people have to roll/pull the rears. The rear wheels would stick out further than the front wheels will (if neither had a spacer.)

Should I switch my order to 25mm wheels for the front?

Stick with 20mm spacers in front, and no spacers in the rear. There is no need for it in the rear.

I meant 25 offset for front and 35 offset for rears

I run 18x9.5 +20 on my 8 with just rolled fenders, but my wheels do not require a spacer and they sit very nicely. If you do not have to run a spacer with the +25 wheel, I would recommend running that wheel all around (17x9 +25). If you still need a spacer with them, then I would say just stick with the +35 and get spacers according to where you want your wheels to sit. It's easier to mount your wheels and see how big of a spacer you want for the stance you are trying to receive

I wouldn't recommend it unless you don't care about rotating wheel/tires. Run the 35mm all around and use 20mm spacers in the front. You have something against spacers? Seems like you're just trying to avoid it.

Of note, RPF1 don't clear the front calipers unless you're running the +18 or +15 offset; assuming the width is 9 inch or wider.

I'm not a big fan of spacers.I will definitely not use bolt on spacers.Ill go through the trouble of installing new studs.

There is nothing wrong with sandwich spacers using the arp extended lugs. Most of us with track cars end up using them so we can run square set ups and freely rotate the tires.

But I agree that the bolt on spacers are shaky IMHO.

i would just get the 17x9.5 +18 and you will not need any spacer and will sit flush. 25mm is a big spacer... well to me it is but do see people tacking there cars on them

^With +18 in the rear how much fender work is required to get them to fit without rubbing? I have no personal experience with that size but everything I read says that stuffing those in the rear is a PITA.

Sure it's the ideal size for the front but its easier to run the +35 in the front with w/ 20mm spacer so fitment in the rear wont be so difficult.

Looks nice!
