While אֶפְשָׁרוּת means "possibility," it's used to mean "choice," as in יֵש לָנוּ שְׁתֵּי אֶפְשָׁרֻיּוֹת "We have two options / choices / possibilities." It doesn't mean "possibility" as a an independent abstract. I've never heard it with the negating prefix אִי־. I may have written אי אפשרי before, but now that I think about this, even that is wrong.
With the term אפשר, we can have the prefix אי to get אי אפשר. However, when it's particularly an adjective, we have the form with the בלתי prefix, so that it becomes בִּלְתִּי אֶפְשָׁרִי "impossible."
Perhaps we could word the idea as אֵין דָּבָר בִּלְתִּי אֶפְשָׁרִי "there is nothing impossible." This would certainly be grammatically and conceptually acceptable in Hebrew.
