Rota D2 Wheels

I am considering getting these wheels in 17x8.5+25 and am curious if they will fit? Also will I be able to put them on stock tires? Thanks

Here is the link

well in stead of a different offset...you could maybe try a spacer.

with my 18x9.5 et27 im running a 12mm spacer in the front...

BUMP for subydude's answer!

What wheels are you running? And do spacers affect drivability? I want to get the right size just trying to figure out what that is.

I am running Enkei NT03+M 18x9.5, I am however running staggered fitment, running et27(f) and et40(r). I am running a 12mm spacer (f) and a 5mm spacer (r). The spacers will NOT affect your driveability, if anything it will help improve your handling because it will push the wheels out giving your car/evo a wider base.!!

Thanks. Is there some kind of guide you can point me to for figuring out what spacers I will need with these wheels?

Spacers will not help make the wheels fit. The issue isn't with the spokes hitting the caliper, it is the overall diameter of the inside portion of the wheel that does not clear the caliper. Even the 18" D2's didn't clear brembo's in subaru fitments. I believe Subydude is coming out with some new sizes to work so PM.
