Your set up looks right. Thats what running a +17 looks like w/a 265 tire. That particular tire could run wide & make the poke look even more?
You really need a 12mm spacer as the min. 1-2mm of clearance is a bit tight & wheel flex could get into the caliper (keep an eye out for any caliper contact)
Quick Question - Just lowered my car and looking to get rid of that "hover-craft" look without having to roll the fenders. I have the stock MR BBS rims, and was curious would 10mm spacers rub? Saw and heard of some people were running 15mm spacers and didn't rub, while others had it rub. Just want that overhang gone!

The tire choice will certainly affect this. The stockers are a +38 offset & adding a 10mm gets the wheel to the effective offset of +28.
My best advice is to do the rear fender roll at the min. If you run a 245/40, 245/45 or the wide standard 255/40, a rear roll will be needed running that 10mm spacer

Im running RE-71 in 255/40R18 on enkei raijin18x9.5 +35 wheels. Set up worked fine with the small brake kit, but now that I'm switching to the stock brembo they don't clear the calipers. I thru in 2, 3mm spacers so essentially it was 6mm. still didn't clear by a tiny bit. So im leaning towards a 8mm but won't really know until i buy them.
so Im trying to see if anyone has run a set up like this before and what was the solution before i go out blindly buying spacers.

-Ohlins+rear rolled
Yeah, going to be tough to locate that right member whos installed these. Many of us will just use spacer washers on 2 studs & measure the thickness to determine the approx spacer size
Great idea on the washers, ill give that a try and narrow it down. Now to figure out if the its gonna conflict with the fender clearance.

Adding a spacer to that +35 / 9.5" you will be needing some light rear fender clearancing (likely a rear roll is all that is needed)
Up front, you should be OK but expect front liner rub at lock positions. Depends on your ride height. Its best not to run too low up front (consider no less than 25 3/8" from ground to under the fender lip)
So it looks like I’m gonna need to run 18mm spacers up front. New to this spacer thing, but would these be what I need? I already got the arp extended studs so I was gonna ditch the bolts these come with.

Honestly not the best when it comes to spacer types. Looks like the center bore diameter is OK but personally have never run front spacers. Dont forget to run the Hub rings as seen in the pic as well

Your setup will look like this here:
I was looking for hubcentric spacers in 72mm (I think they were, the center bore for NT03) but I cant find them. I see them in 67mm and i know that won't work. So I have to run that hub ring right? How big though? And where can I buy one?
Yep, you got to run them
Ebay & others have them. The alum ones are the best but the composite ones work as well (double check the hub bore on that wheel but pretty sure its 72.6 & we know the EvO is 67.1)
If you track your EvO, the alum ones for sure @Felix_VIII

I used the 67.1mm ID to 72.6mm OD (Stock bore to NTO3S bore) aluminum Hubcentric Rings (Pack of 4) -...
