the most important thing that I can get 245 & 255 so for instance if i have 9.5 won't it be too much for 255 wide as the rims will be out ? & i don't want that, I want aggressive look while protecting the wheels from road as well
Offset, also named ET, explain where the hub of the wheel is located relative to the centerline of the wheel. Offset in combination with wheel width is most important when looking for new wheels.

Lower offset results in wider stance.

If you like 245 front and 255 rear tires the most narrow wheels you can choose are 8" front and 8.5" rear. With those wheel and tire widths you can search for wheels with front offset around 30 and rear around 35.

F: 8x18" ET30, 245/40-19 (1% shorter than OEM)
R: 8.5x18" ET35, 255/40-19 (OEM F30 tire size)

If you find wheels you like with higher offset you may fit them with use of spacers.
