Default Purchasing FORGESTAR CF5 wheels; need tire help

Want some light weight wheels
So I've decided on FORGESTAR CF5 which they describe as
"semi concave" for a 19x8.5 or 19x9
"deep concave" for a 19x9.5+

i dont like the way they look and would hardly consider them concave at 19x9.+

i was thinking of going with 19 x 8.5 for all corners because that way they dont look concave or semi concave at all. they have a more flat look which is what i like

would it look stupid if i got 8.5 for all corners and put 225/35/19 up front and 255/35/19 in rear? can you fit a 255 tire on a 8.5 wheel? thanks guys

heres a pic you can see how the rears concave is funky looking however the fronts which are a 9.0 wide look good.

i do have a RWD
i have a is350 sport edition

so how about a 19x8.5 225/35/19
& 19x9 255/35/19

will a 19x9 wheel in rear just look too wimpy? lol
