I just want bronze wheels that are lighter than stock but don't change the tire shape or suspension geometry.

Yes, changing the offset to a lower value won't hurt if you're only changing it slightly (et45? maybe even et40?). If anything, it will improve how the wheels fill the wheel arches.
As others have already pointed out, gen.2 stock wheels are 7.5" in width.
Won't hurt to consider 17x8 either. It will also be better for 225/45R17 tires when inevitably you change your tires from stock.
Also note that stock Primacy HP look narrower than many other tires in the same dimension.
225/45R17 SX2's will look less stretched on 17x8 than stock tires are on stock wheels.
