Will I need spacers?

Okay so i just bought these: 18" Enkei Rims NT03+M 18x9.5 5x114.3 +27 Black 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 EVO 8 9 X for my evo x. I am not sure if I will need spacers, I tried to use the chart, but I was having some difficulties, so if someone could just help me by telling me if I will need spacers. Thanks

Don't use spacers. Get the rims with the correct offset.

The thread-starter's question can't be answered unless and until he or she tells us what tires will be used. The wheels, themselves, won't hit the suspension, so it's quite possible this will work.

Alternatively, since the thread-starter said that he or she has already bought the wheels - did you miss that part, Nagua? - he or she can wait until they arrive and test them on the car. It's the front that matters, given that this is a relative high offset.

I'd check out this thread as it probably has the information you're looking for.

You will need to run an 8mm custom spacer to fit perfected or 10mm spacer with studs unless you're planning on get a slip on and running extended studs.

How you know this without knowing what the tires will be is beyond me.
