Installed Corksport Springs and 18x8.5” et 38/45 wheels today with the stock tires. I’ll post up pics in a few weeks after the springs settle. First reaction, there is more tire stretch than people are letting on here, which was expected. Second reaction, the fitment is on point with these wheel specs. Could have probably gone another 5mm in the rear and 3mm in the front of poke, but otherwise it looks solid.
 
Got my wheels mounted today. Enkei TSR-X, 18x8.5+38, OEM 215 tires. Flush on the back, slight poke in the front. Corksport lowering springs next.

Sorry to dig up an old post, but I'm looking to possibly pick these up myself. Do you think there could be any issues putting 235s on them at stock height? I just don't want to damage anything when I inevitably hit a pothole a little too hard.

No issues! I swapped in some Kumho Ecsta PS71 tires, 235/40R18 and it fits perfectly
 
Mazda Canada accessory M012 Matte Gunmetal in 20" diameter. Available down to 16". Look a lot like BBS SRs. Will fit Mazda3 also.

Superspeed RS03RR flowform 18x8.5 +45 offset wheels (18.1 lbs) with 245/40/18 Continental DWS06 Plus tires.
Stock ride height obviously. I’m considering the CS not so low springs but don’t want to hurt the ride too much.
