Willtheyfit.com is a great resource to compare the fit of any wheel/tire combo against the stock set.
I have the MY LR AWD. I am getting my MPP lift kit installed this week, along with Cooper Discoverer True North 245/55 R18 tired mounted on gunmetal TSW Nurburgring 18x9 +32mm wheels. The overall tire diameter increase is 0.6 inches and the sidewall height is 0.8 inches greater. It is hard to say whether this setup would fit with the stock body height, but it seems possible.
Ground clearance with the lift kit and winter tires increases to 8.65 inches.

yes of course anyone can put them on easily, as in they do fit. But the wheels don't meet the load rating required by the model Y and that's not worth the risk to me. I've got kids in the back.

18" Aero wheels and Model Y load limits
Here's a thread that goes in depth with the load rating of the 18" wheels. Seems like, for most typical use cases, the 18" wheels are perfectly safe.

I should add that I bought my wheels through EVtuning.com, as their selection of wheels are tailored for Teslas, including a bunch of 18 inch options. That made it a lot simpler to find ones with matching center bore, pitch circle diameter, etc.
I put these on my Y after an unplanned flat tire:
They look great to me and were pretty cheap

I've been looking at Discount Tires wheels, but it's hard to order without seeing real pictures. Could you please post a couple pics of the wheels on your car?I put these on my Y after an unplanned flat tire:
