it depends on the offset, im running 17x9.5 +15 and 245/40/17 tires all around, and not using any spacers.
im not quite sure about RPF1's though, they dont have drastic offsets, i'd say the most you might need is like a 5mm

I'm positive ur going to need at the very least 20mm + spacers up front.
That's the wrong offset for the evo.

As noted, the +45 is not the proper RPF1 wheel to use. Seems like most guys pick the 17x9.5 +38 (No spacer in rear & the 20mm spacer up front). Or some guys have used the 17x9.5 +18 upfront & the +38 in the rear

Read this thread fully & it may help. Personally I would sell this +45 & use the proven wheel size. And if you really want to do it correctly find a wheel that requires no spacers
