Spacers aren't bad. I run a 22mm spacer and I'm not retarded... I'm an Engineer. You'll need to run ARP extended studs and do it up right. You're going to spend another 300 dollars for lugnuts, spacers, and ARP studs.
ok these are CE28N 18x9.5 +29 as a test fit on my car...

that is 7MM of space there... the 17x9.5 +35 cuts that out but i might have to run a 3mm spacer on fronts... which is perfectly fine...

and yeah i already have the studs etc... as you can see in the photo..

Just make sure you run hub centric spacers.
I am using actually stock studs and FIC Racing 20mm spacers that are hub centric and bolt to the hub and then wheel bolt to the spacer. very reliable and safe. But they are pricey about 190$ per set.
My car is being race all the time and never had any issues. Rauh Welt uses same type of spacers on their 911's with up to I think 4" thickness. NO problems.

Never hurts to verify if any one is actually running them and have first hand... I'm pretty sure this is a solid fitment... but until i get one and mount rubber and put on the car I'm not 100%

i'm sure in the world of EVO 8/9's out there some one has a 17x9.5 CE28N +35 on their car... and could answer... maybe they see this post to verify fitment

FYI...
I'll be making some new Billet Aluminum Trailing arms instead of the normal hand fabricated chromoly sets. Should be ready to go in about 4 weeks!
