Default 06 LS430, required rim offset?

Hello folks, newbie here. I've been lurking and reading for couple months - which motivated me to recently purchase a Base model 06 LS 430. My first-to-Lexus-Club question has to do w the stock 5 star 18" wheels, they're pitifully peeling and pitted. AND, I have the chance/choice to pick up clean stock 18" rims from 2 other Lexus/Toyota models; 2015 Rav 4, (18×7.5x u/k offset), or u/k year RX350,(18x7.5x35mm offset x 114.3 lug spacing).
As stated, my concern rightfully should be w the offset(?), due to large front LS430 caliper size. I've read that stock offset size for ls430 18" rims is 45mm. My underlying question is, does anyone know if either of these 2 options will be a direct swap? I don't know what the Rav4 offset is... and the offset on the RX350 rims is a little shy of the stock LS requirement. The added impetus comes from the fact that I'm 7 hours away from home for the weekend, (so a test fit is TOTALLY out of the question), and these 2 options are local-to-my-current location Craigslist finds that I'm more than willing to cart home, (somehow!), if they'll be what I need.
Any thoughts? Thank you, my friends
Oh, let me add that, I'm looking for a stock clean look... just a simple bolt on w/ new stock tires and get on with my day. (I'm having the car detailed this week, and the detail guy said he knows a guy that will redo the existing wheels for about $150 ea/whl. I think a 2nd set of wheels will be great to have, so if i can locate another 'stock' set, [thus this post], I'll swap wheels and send the Originals out to get re-done).

Here's the u/k year RX350 wheel...114.3x5, 18x7.5 x 35mm offset



And here's the 2015 Rav4 wheel, (might look kinda cool!), advertised as the exact same size as above wheel, but u/k offset

... as for the perfect basic stock tire, I'll keep lurking!
Thank you SO, so much. Any input is greatly appreciated!
