Do 17x9 or 17x9.5 wheels need spacers?

I am looking to replace my stock 16x8 wheels with a set of 17x9 or 17x9.5 wheels. Do i need spacers for these or will they just bolt right on with no problems?

spacers aren't needed since SS/WS6 came with 17x9 wheels.

It depends on the offset/backspacing of the wheel. Flip the wheel over, and it should have the offset imprinted on the inside of a spoke
