CE28N 17x7 +50 and Stock Tires?

Hi Guys, someone is selling 2003 CE28Ns 17x7.5 +50 @ USD 1,100. (japan surplus)

I want lighter wheels for a better DD feel =(more efficient suspension, and acceleration)

But, I also want to retain the stock dynamics so I decided to stick with stock height, and wear out my primacys in them first, and eventually, switch to a max/ultra performance tire with the same size.

(1) pics of the ce28 and all seems good. but anything i should be worried about a 2003 manufactured wheel? I mean.. arent construction methods and material quality WAY different from a 03 made vs late 2010- CE28?

(2) at 215/45/17 stock size, with +50 offset, am i going to need any spacers or any additional modifications to my suspension?

(3) considering lightweight wheels too for spirited/dd (no competitive track) - I am looking at the lightweight extremecontactDW or the ventus v12 both at 19lbs. what can i expect going smaller at 205/45/17? or should i go 40/50? which will fit in a 7.5 wheel?
