Try one on the back. If there is a minimum of 4 mm between the tyre and the radius arm, then the wheel offset is fine. If it's fine on the back it will be so on the front. Unless it's way out and really binds on the arm (unlikely) don't spacer the front, even if you do have to put, say, a 5 mm spacer on the back.
