Default Need Quick Answer on Tires Please

As title states...I found a smoking good deal on a set of tires but want to know if they'll fit...

I have stock C6 narrow body rims at these dimensions/offset (with stock tire dimensions)
18X8.5/+56 w/245/40/18 (25.7 diameter) tires
19X10 /+79 w/285/35/19 (26.9 diameter) tires

I'm looking to throw this size tire on the rim...do-able? I need to know so I can buy them.

305/30/19 (26.3" rolling diameter from 26.9)
265/35/18 (25.3" rolling diameter from 25.7)

Will these fit and will the rolling diameter be okay for active handling system?

Doing down in height < .5 inch in height shouldn't cause an issue but I would be more concerned about the difference in widths.

If you have an auto car the speedo might be off with wrong size tires. Manual tranny,it corrects itself...

I'm a manual and could care less about the speedo. I'm getting a retune on the car soon and I'll correct.

I'm concerned about tire width fitting a narrow body with rubbing and concerned about it overall fitting on the tire. Will I need spacers?

Thoughts there?
