Not my taste at all... 1st gen IS wheels would look much better since you want stock height for a bit. But, you are the one who has to like em. GL

Even with the 8.5" +50 rear wheels it won't appear staggered because 18x8 +45 and 18x8.5 +50 essentially sit the same on the fender. The rear wheels will look buried.

Anything less than 19" is hardly worth bothering with, IMO.
Also "lousy roads" (as one poster put it) is not a valid excuse for not doing a mild drop. I'm lowering my '08 Odyssey, and it's a work van!
Again, without a drop, I'd prefer to just leave it stock.

A real good drop will completely change the way your car looks.

yeah a nice lowered suspension plus maybe some spacers for the rear wheels and you'd be set. i think it would give it a very euro look

just for the fact that they would be a PITA to keep clean. Did you look at the 10 spoke OEM's?

These are the wheels I mean:https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=322228

They have the spoke look without too many spokes IMO.
