Default ISF wheel question

I currently have stock OEM 17's on my RWD is250. I'm planning to swap them out with oem 19's from an ISF. My 17's are running 245/45/17 tyres and the ISF 19's will be running 255/35/19. My question is seeing as the wheel size is bigger, will the car actually technically sit a bit higher than currently? I know the tyre profile has dropped by 10mm but how much difference is in height from the 17's to the 19's? Is it enough for the 10mm tyre profile drop to make up for?
