Any shots from the front or rear?I have those (on third-party 19” wheels) and have no complaints.
Went with 245/40 as it was the closest to stock size available (~1% off on circumference/speedo).
This is on an 8 inch wheel width (OEM is 8.5) which kept wheel weight lower and gave me some curb rash protection.

255 might be similar on your 8.5, width-wise as 0.5 inches is 12.5 mm.
Some more shots from the front and rear. Those wheels have some mildly aggressive offset, so they stick out more than OEM.
Closest I have on hand:One thing to consider that struck me by surprise and one reason I won't be buying A/S 3+. They're heavy. 27lbs in a 245/40. Check the tire weight on tirerack as you're researching options.
@e-FTW : could you include a sideshot? This isn't against you but theres way too many wheel pics on here without actually doing everyone the favor of a full shot of the car, clearly displaying the wheels.
I have those tires on a different car and have been pretty disappointed in an increase in road noise compared to my continental extremecontact DWS.
Curious to hear thoughts on road noise since it’s otherwise a prevalent issue on these cars
I have been debating between the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ and the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 in 255/40 19. I did a comparison on Tire Rack which I have attached. The Michelins are made in the USA, are 3 pounds heavier, and cost $136 more for 4 tires. I am leaning towards the Michelins, but am wondering how much the extra 3 pounds will affect range. I have 30K on the stock Contis and 6/32 tread left, so I figure I have about 10K left which for me is about 6 months. I seem to have gotten much more life out of my tires than most on these forums.
