I have 275's all around and it works perfectly. It's the perfect width IMHO.

255/40 is as wide as you should ever put on wheels that are only 8.5" wide.

A good staggered fitment with 255/40's on 19x8.5 front wheels would be 285/35-19's on 19x10's. 285/35's on 19x9.5's would be legitimately do-able from a tire size to wheel width perspective, but you could also end up with oversteer from too much throttle being more frequent or more sudden.
