Need advise and guidance from the wheel pros

So I have decided to go for VMW VB3's for my Vermillion Red E92 335i.

To save myself from a harsh ride, I want to go with 18" vs 19" To save some cash, I would like to use the Bridgestone RFT's that came on the stock 18" wheels.

This is what I need advise on... I would like to use the OEM 18" tires that were on the car with 18x8 wheels for the front with 225/40/18 and 18x8.5 for the rear for 255/35/18 on the rear. I was recommended by VMW to get 8.5x18 for the front and 9.5x18 for the rear. Since I was to use the stock tires for now, I know they will be stretched.

How will this impact the ride? Can RFT's be stretched slightly? How will it look? Is this the best route to take? What about the TPMS from my OEM wheels... Can I use them?
