another wheel and tyre size question

Oh dear... one flat tyre is going to turn into an expensive exercise. Just had one of my pzero's plugged and on closer inspection realised they are very old (have only had the car a month or so didnt know the tyres history. So have decided to replace all four, and then while the wheels were off realised the rims are totally the wrong size. Fronts are techart 8.5jx 19 and rears are only 10jx 19. So given I am going to buy 4 new tyres, probably best to sort the wheels out as well.

One option I guess would be hunt down a set or original turbo wheels (8 x 18 and 11 x 18 is that correct ?) or stick with 19s. If I stick with 19s, I guess I could go with just repalcing the rears with Techart 11s and keep the fronts... not sure though about the 8.5s either

Any suggestions on tyre and wheel combos would be greatly appreciated...
