Not aftermarket per say (they are OEM from my previous Evo X), but still, not stock!
18x8.5 +38 all around with stock tires.

Everyone's wheels look so nice!

I'm thinking about getting a set of Work Emotion CR Kiwami wheels in matte bronze. If I were to get them with the following specs, would there be any chance of rubbing?

Front: 19x8.5 +35 (semi-concave) 225/35/19
Rear: 19x9.5 +38 (deep concave) 255/30/19

Moderate ~1" drop on RS-R coilovers.

I would say you should have no problem... I have the same wheels in GTS and I have a 275 rear tire and it just barely rubs in the back.... Front has no problem what so ever...

Another thing I'm considering is to go with a square setup, with the 19x9.5 +38 deep concave all around. Would a 255/30/19 all around be okay without rubbing with those wheel specs?

Too aggressive and will rub IMO.

I'm on 19 x 8.5 + 38 with 235/35/19s at front , RSR Downs - and no rubbing but it's cutting it close. If you want square, max I'd go is 245/35/19s on the 8.5 wide +38 rim would work but double check this thread for those who have this similar size at front. I'd also get a more rounded shoulder tire just in case for the extra 1-2 mm clearance.

What is everyone doing with the oem wheels? Craigslist, the classifieds here, eBay?

I'm trying to get an idea of the best place to find oem wheels for winter tires. There were surprisingly few listings here.

Got my alignment done yesterday 4 weeks after my new wheels and RSR downs had plenty of time to settle.

Toe was noticeably out and after adjustment, car feels lighter with less drag. I didn't expect that much of a difference but was a pleasant surprise. Pricey but worth every penny!

170 bucks for an alignment?! Do they work with the golden tools?

^^^ A reputable 3rd party in my area for an AWD vehicle will be around 100$ but I've also heard of issues with some places unable to properly align this car. So get it done right the first time.

18x8 225/40/18 + 23 Front
18x9 235/40/18 + 35 Rear

I would say it's going to rub, winless you can drive straight all the time . Or very close on the 18's
