Need rim advice/help

I was hoping I could get some input from you guys on a decision I'm trying to make. I currently have 18" RJ Inspyre on my TL, I like the look but I'm thinking of getting 19" RJ Legends in Liquid Graphite and selling the rims I have now.

Does anyone know if I could fit a 255w tire on the Inspyres I have now? I think they're 8"w. If I can, I might just keep them and if I do I was thinking of polishing them. Anyone every seen polished Inspyres? Here's what my TL looks like..

Look like the Inspyre's in 19" are either 7.5" +50 or 8.5" +42. If the 7.5, I wouldn't try a 255, but even with the 8.5", a 255/35 is 26" tall, and a 255/30 is 25" in height, one too tall, one too short if you will. Stay with the 245/35-19 and get the Yokohama AD08 in the summer tire, with a tread width of a stout 9.4". If you want an all season with some tread life, take a look at the various tires and grab a set with a 9+" tread width.
Just an idea.
