Will this work? Tire & rim sizes

I recently bought my 2013 LS and the original summer tires don't have much life left so this is what I'm thinking of doing.

I see someone online is selling new 2015 performance package takes offs. I believe these will be 255/40 on a 9 inch rim and 275 40 on a 9.5 inch rim.

First, can I use these on my LS rims? Are mine the same width? I thought I saw somewhere the LS rears were 10 inches wide.

Second, I've seen a few barely used sets of 255/40 winter tires for a decent price. Can these be used on the 2015 rear rims?

Basically, I want to make the 2015 rims my winter rims and the 2015 tires on my stock rims.
 
The 2015 wheels should work but the rears have 10mm narrower tires and 1/2" narrower wheels than your LS. For winter tires you should be fine. The offsets could be slightly different but I'd bet a beer they'll work.
