Default What wheels would work

First time Lexus owner here. Just got my 2008 IS250 (RWD) this past week. The finish on the wheels seems to be bubbling. I am not a newbie to the car modding game. I have had a Mazda 3 and a Silverado 1500 which I heavily modded myself. However, I have never had a staggered set of wheels on a car either. I dont really like the idea of staggered wheels because I would like to be able to rotate them and get more life out of one set of tires. I have been lurking around on ClubLexus for a few weeks now and been looking at wheel threads constantly. However, I have not really found an answer to the question as to what wheels would I be able to fit without them being staggered. I was looking at XXR 530 wheels in 18x8.75 with a +33 offset. I want to make sure the set would look good and it would not look like the fronts stick out drastically. Any input would be welcomed. Thank you in advance.

With that offset you will be really flushed with the car, with stock suspension you'll be good if you lower it you may get away without having to roll fenders or may need a slight roll... Im running 19x9.5 F and 19x10.5 R with +22 offset all around. Im also lowered so had to do lots of fender work to make my wheels fit, you in the other hand should be fine, but I wouldnt go any bigger than 235 in the front may rub on plastics...
