Default Will stock 18 tires fit 19 wheels?

Hey guys,

I really would like to take the plunge and get some wheels for my leased ride. I am drooling over Axis S5s in gunmetal or bronze for my SWP.

So the 2010 RWD stock tires are 225/40 F, 255/40 R

Could these be stretched to fit 19 x 8.5 Axis S5s? If not, do the 18" Axis S5s seem larger than normal 18 inchers?

It's bad enough spending 3 months of PMTS on wheels. I would REALLY like to avoid getting new tires. right now, i have almost 2 years left on the lease. the car is a DD, and i really could care less about the performance level of new tires or upgraded tires, for that matter.

Interested in buying your tires if you decide to get new ones for your 19s.
