The specs will fit a 2013. It all depends on your tire size of choice. If your going 185/55x16, it won't have rub issues.

You'll be fine. I'm on Eibach Sportlines (2" drop in rear 1.8" drop in front) running 16x7 +35 which is 5mm more poke than yours, and I don't rub AT ALL

should fit, but depending on the tire you get you might rub a little bit. my winter set is a 16x7 ET40 with 205/50/16 Continental DWS. it rubbed just a little early on in the front, but no more rubbing even at full bump. i even run a 5mm spacer on the rears.

I gonna prob go with 195/50/16 seems to be a safe size since you kinda rubbed on 205 is your car lowered

You will be fine with 195/50/16 with those specs. You may rub a little with 205/50/16 but nothing serious.

I never aligned my car after I lowered it. It's been about 60k miles and nothing unusual. All of my tires have lasted the advertised mileage or longer.

It's pretty hard to screw up the alignment much with McPherson strut front end as long as you don't slam the car.
