Not at all familiar w/the GTA, but if its the EVO 7 body then I can work w/that

No Zero offset wheel will work on the stock body EVO. Try & look at wheel offset ranges here: +25 to +38

How about Volk ZE40 in 18x9 +25et? I'm thinking the fronts should be ok but the rear may need a roll, which I was hoping to avoid. I'd do +35et with ease but it doesn't have enough concave.

Ran this on the calculator 18x9 +25 running 255/35/18 tire = For sure a fender roll & light pull needed in the rear to fully clear w/zero rub. +25 offset requires more than a roll as it is considered a very aggressive offset for the stock body EVO
As you noted, front fitment is OK

Stock rear camber setting OK to run after fender modification

What wheels are these?

18x9.5 +34 with 255/35/18 need a roll?

I'm thinking about picking up a set of Rota DPT wheels with the following spec: 18x9.5 +34. The owner told me this setup will clear brembos and doesn't need a roll in the rear with 255/35/18. I'm lowered with a -2 camber set all around. Would this setup work without any fender roll?

No you will need to roll fenders in the rear.

W/your +-2 of rear camber its going to be very close. I would re-set your rear camber to stock & roll the rear fenders. -2 is a performance negative in the rear

Those are actually NT03 knockoffs...I think Rota has a set that looks like that but not positive.

How did you ever catch that? Youve got the good eye for sure. After looking at the pic again, the finish looks diff & does not have the dual valve stems

Also fewer spokes. I thought they were XXR's until I noticed the ring..

Haha, well I do have 20/10 vision...but it probably has more to do with the fact that I own 2 sets of NT03's

Hi guys, I bought XXR 531 18x9.5 +20 .... I know ill need a 3mm spacer to clear the front calipers but still undecided if I use 235/40 or 255/35

front and rears rolled and rear is slightly pulled.... 1.5" drop

which would be the best way to go 235/40 or 255/35???
