Staggered IS350 rims question

Hi All,
Long time lurker.
I am looking at purchasing some used IS350 rims. I have read several posts about people running 8's on the front and 8.5's on the back, but I need to add another level of questioning.
The rims I'm looking at are 17x8.5 on the front and 18x9 on the rear. All of posts I have read seem to run 18's all around. Would this type of setup work (17's and 18's)? Would it look/ sit right on the car?
Thanks in advance. I appreciate the knowledge shared here.

If you drive long distance you really need to think about what ONE spare you're gonna keep in the trunk ? I was told that if you put a different sized tires on the rear i.e 245/40/18 and a 275/35/18 (even though they are within the accepted difference in overall diameter) you could burn up the rear differential. If that's the case with 17-18 tires if you flat on a roadtrip ... you're basically SCREWED.
I'll be putting a set of IS350 18X8.5 245/40 on all four corners after I redo my suspension bushings and get my Bilsteins.
