Default RX330 wheels on DWP gs4 question

Alright, Ive done a little bit of researching on this setup, and I like the look of these wheels on the GS...More of an aggressive stance when its lowered a bit. But I also know the offset is different on these wheels and the rears will most likely sit in a little. Does anyone know if it will be a ton or not bad...I think the wheels offsets are +45????

Also I know someone is gonna say the rim is more narrower than the 17x8 factory setup...well the tire size is pretty much the same...235/45/17 factory and now moving to a 235/40/18 or 245/40/18...So I'm guessing it will about the same since my car didnt come with the 17s...but I already know this car doesnt corner like my e36 m3 did and it never will...so I'm not really interested in the cornering aspects...just a nice look...

I have this setup on my 02 sd and it looks great, its only tucked in just a little bit, you can barely tell. I would go for it.

If it looks too sunken in, you can always run spacers.

I think the wheels look pretty good on the 2GS.
