Running really wide wheels with those tire sizes is pointless and in fact I would argue negatively impacts performance. 9" is about as wide as I would go with 255's. 9.5" is ok but unnecessary.
But if looking at 19" wheels, a 10.5 should be able to fit no problem, especially considering the additional tire options? Specifically, a 19x10.5 et15 for the front.
