You can get much nicer wheels at a much cheaper price if you stick aftermarket. Just make sure all the wheels are the same size with AWD or you will cause damage to the drivetrain over time. OEM wheels at Lexus start at $500+ without center caps. That is way too much money for one wheel. Try Discount Tire, they can usually obtain most rims.

You actually can run a staggered setup on an AWD if youd like, you just have to get different tire sidewall heights for the front and back. You can look at tireracks website and check out the tire diameter.
If you try and buy 275/30/19 for the rear and 245/35/19 for the back, the back wheels will indeed be larger in diameter, however, if you get 245/40/19 in front, you can check the tire diameter and it should match almost perfectly (less than 0.5"inch) to the tire diameter of the rear set. If you dont do this though, yes you can damage the drivetrain!

This is always true with playing with tire sizes, but when it comes time to rotate the tires to increase tire life due to more even wear, this is where you will run into issues. Not worth it IMO.
