Spacers or not???

Hello, My name is Art. I just picked up my first Evo (06 MR). Its a great car and I love driving it!! I just pick up a set Wedsports sa-55m 18x9 20 front and 18x10 18 rear.
The shop that I bought the rims from said i don't need any spacers, but that don't seem right to me.
So my question is do I need spacers for them?
If so what size do i need?

Thanks you for any info and help you guys can give me!!!!

You should have performed a bit of research before buying that hodge-podge of mis-matched wheels w/a serious case of bad off-set

Return them & get your money back

There are many threads noting choices & opinions on wheel /tire fitment

Spend an hour or two rifling through this thread & you will soon come up w/ a common denominator.
99.9% of us run the same spec wheel all around. The best fitments are w/ offsets higher than +25 (IMO)
