Caught between two tire sizes

My 2014 F10 is on its way so I'm rounding up all my mods ahead of time. I'm pullin the stock wheels off and selling the RFT to the parts dept at the dealership when the car arrives. I ordered the Avant Garde M355 19X9 ET35 and 19X10 ET38. The stock size tire is 245/40/19 and 275/35/19. I know those will fill on the AG wheels, but I don't want the stretched look since i'm not lowering the car. I thought about 255/40/19 and 285/35/19, but i want the option of being able to go back to the stock wheels in case I have problems with the AG's. I've searched for wheel pics with both sized tires on a 19X9 and 19X10 wheel with no luck. I find sizes that are close, but not exact. If you have some pics of your F10 with any of the combo's listed above please post. Also any advice is appreciated. Also will the stock TPMS fit thses wheels or will I need to purchase aftermarket?

Could you describe the RFT/parts dept transaction? Did they take the tires as "New" or "Used"? I thought tires, once mounted, were no longer "New" and could not be (re)sold as such. Did the parts dept take them off you at a fire sale price or something comparable to Classified/ebay/craigslist? Thanks for any info and good luck with your search.

They gave me their cost on the tires since they have to sell as used.

Use a tire calculator and see the height difference. I would not deviate more than 1/4 inch from the factory height.

There's 1.2% difference which means when the car is traveling at 60mph, the speedometer will show 61mph.
