Help choosing proper wheel fitment

I have a 01 Lexus IS300 and I would like to get some new wheels for it. New to the rear wheel drive world and wanna start a VIP style car. The IS is drop on D2 coilover and currently running a set of 17's Volk GT-P which came off of my prelude. So it has a front wheel drive offset. I would like to go up one or two size at the most. But want a set of nice Wald or iFORGED wheels with a nice lilp and lower offset.

Any helps on the size and pictures?

That looks good, but I'm not gonna widen out the car. Looking to just getting the best offset with stock fenders rolled out.

Use the offset calculator to guide you. Its a sticky on the wheels/suspension section. Take a ruler and see how far away the furtest part of the wheel is from the fender (not tire) Take the mm difference and write it down then mess around on the offset calculator with different widths and offsets to see what will get you where you need it to be. Just make sure you have enough clearance from your strut. If you do it right, your fitment should be Hella Flush
