If the guitar has a hum installed already, just look how the strings line up. I prefer regular spaced for the look, but it can make a slight difference in more or less ideal string to pole positioning.The things that you wanted

Take a ruler and measure the string spacing over the screw poles. If its 51 mm or more (1 mm less than 2 inches), you can use a trembucker.I get the feeling the A8 will blow your skirt up more so - Edgecrusher

Functionally, you may not notice a difference between a standard-spaced and Trembucker/F-spaced pickup, but most modern bridges are definitely on the wider side.
As Hamerfan pointed out, you can measure the string spacing directly over the bridge pickup to determine if you need a Trembucker/F-spaced pickup.
If you don't have strings on the guitar, then measure the center of the saddles from E-to-E at the bridge. If the overall string spread is greater than 52.5mm, you would be better off going Trembucker/F-spaced.

Also if they SD pickups, unscrew the pickup ring from the guitar, flip the pickup over and look at the model number, if it starts with a TB its a trembucker, if it starts with SH its standard width.
Dimarzio model numbers will have an F in the model number at the end if its trem spaced or as they call it F spaced. Such as DP224FBK is the F spaced AT1, DP224BK is the standard spaced one.1994 Ibanez IC500 Iceman reissue
