Also, depending on the spoke design, front caliper fitment could be an issue
Tire size is a factor as well. You need to figure out if these will fit over calipers w/out spacers or if youre OK w/spacers what size is needed

Well I have 9.5s now running a 235/40/18. Looking to go 245. Think a roll will be needed? Because that's done. Maybe a pull to be safe for 245s?

The offsets you noted are perfect for the EVO & will fit fine depending on what tire you choose. The big question is whether front spacers are needed. The link notes the +25 offset may not require them. +25 is aggressive & will likely require rear fender treatment

Heres an old thread on that wheel

Fitting 275's is no simple task but very doable. You have to be willing to do some fender work!!!
Enkei NT03 17 x 9.5 +38 might be an option but to me has a very odd spider web look due to the high offset.
In your case, the high offsets above +35 to +38 will be your best option to avoid aggressive rear fender work

i was looking at the 5zigen wheels
right now i have 265's on the car with only having to roll the rears but they are on an 18...
i also saw a set of rota grids with a +42 offset and a rota slipstream with a +35 and +48

Will I need any spacers to clear my brembos front or rear running a 18x9.5 +35 rota grid? Also I'm gonna run kyb with swift springs on 255/35/18 will I need to do any fender work or anything? If not can I use spacers to push out a little and fit more flush?

Anyway, I ran your numbers on the calculator & its going to be close but you should roll the rears just to be safe
Dont add any additional camber to fit. They should fit w/out adding any out of spec camber
If you add spacers to front & rear you will have to consider a rear fender pull & the other rear fender tricks depending on spacer size
Your proposed spec is modestly aggressive & a very good choice IMO (The 40 series tire would certainly look better but may need more rear fender work)
