Evo X MR BBS Wheels on a IX

Hello guys let me start by saying wheels/tires/suspension is my least knowledgable area on the Evo platform. My question is does anyone know If a set of evo x bbs wheels bolt directly up to my ix. Its a 2006 evo ix SSL came with factory 17" enkeis the car has a set of blisten hds and swift spec r springs. Just not sure if I need wheel spacers or anything. I don't believe the evo x bbs wheels came in a 17" size I've only been able to find 18's if anyone could clarify this fir me I would appreciate it.

Yes they're 18's, and yes they fit.

Do you need any hub centric rings or are they Identical to the evo 8+9 ? Just asking because I'm about to pick up some evo X mr bbs and want to be prepared if I need any thing else.
