Why are you averse to to wheel spacers? Regardless if you want to roll fenders or not, to maximize tire fit the front needs a different offset than the rear.
Spacers are a hazard i have broke lots many to trust them. As for the fender roll i own a MINT stock 8 and wanna keep it as stock looking without making permanent changes
I'm running 18x9 +35, no spacers. Factory fenders and quarters are untouched. No clearance issues at full compression, at full steering lock or anything in between. No clearance issues at all.

My Evo is a little bit lower than stock. I'm including a picture to give you a feel for the ride height.

17x9 +35 5-Zigen FN01R-C with 255/40-17 tires, no spacers, fenders have never been touched. The car isn't as low as the picture would make it seem but knowing the abuse I throw at the car it would have contacted fender by now if it was going to.

Very nice set up man! i was thinking going with 17 but i figure the 18 will fill in the gap a bit more i do plan on doing some circuit racing

That is basically an incorrect statement. If you broke a spacer or a stud in any form then you had cheap hardware or would have broken a stud without them. Spacers dont put any additional load on studs beyond the difference in offset.
But, no worries if you just dont want to use them. I can understand wanting to keep within the OEM form as well.
it's cuz the +34s were discontinued a few years ago, which was the only set that fit. the +28s fit with a fender roll, but those were just discontinued also

One benefit of the 17" is that a 255/40-17 is a much cheaper tire than a 255/35-18. Overall they're the same height so the gap will be the same regardless. In an RE71R there is a $65 difference per tire favoring the 17.
