I'm replacing the pickups on my RG520..someone told me I should get F-Space Dimarzio Evolutions, NOT the regular Dimarzio Evolutions?

is that correct?

whats the difference?

One Google search and I found this on the Dimarzio site:

"F-SPACING refers to a wider spacing between pole pieces available at no extra charge on all full-sized humbuckers. F-spaced pickups should be used in the bridge position an all guitars with wider string spacing, such as STRAT®s or guitars with tremolos. This assures proper string alignment and balanced output. On guitars with a nut width of 1&11/16" or greater, F-spaced pickups can used in the neck position as well. Please specify "F-spaced" at the time you place your order."

BTW, Ibanez RG guitars have a neck width of 43mm (~ 1 & 11/16) so I use F-spaced in the bridge AND neck positions.
