It still all depends on how the wheel is built with it's spokes. The biggest problem is not only being able to clear the brembos with height, which most 18" wheels can clear, but if the front spokes will not rub up against them. Take a look at your stock wheels and see that there is not much room between the spokes on the wheel and the front brembos. With the EVO it all depends on clearing the front brakes not matter what the size. Then you can worry about clearing the other stuff that causes rubbing.

I don't see a problem fitting. I'm using lot more aggressive than you too.

I fit a 18x8.5 +31 offset on my using 245/40/18 and no problems.
