will this look weird?

This is on a factory spec tsx, no changes to height of car.

Front 18x7.5 +48
back 18x8.5 +55

Will that combination work in terms of look? What should the offset be in order to be flush with the back wheel?

I think that offset should make it flush. I am running 19x8.5 with +45 offset on the back and it sticks out a bit.

#1. It's front wheel drive. Why have wider rear wheels? The look? Not worth it IMO

#2. Without it being lowerd (even with just the a-spec) suspension. You're looking like a 4 x 4

regardless of FWD, it'll fit very well, but on a stock car it'll look rediculous

Wouldn't look right on a stock car.
