Questions about wheels

My stock rims are bent, so im considering getting new rims. I've really wanted a set of 19in rims. I am currently on stock ride height, and have no plans on lowering the car.

Currently I am considering running 19x8.5 with ET 45. with 225 on front and 255 in the back.

Will there be any rubbing in the front or will it clear fine? Additionally, will I be able to get away with 19x10 in the back?

19x8.5 you’ll want +25 in front. If you have to get +45, you can use a +20mm spacer. You can fit 19x10 +47 in rear but you’ll have to increase tires to 265/30/19.

I think one thing to consider is, why are your stock rims bent?
Assuming it's from poor road conditions, then switching to 19's with lower profile tires isn't going to help the situation.
Less cushioning from the tires means more impact to the rims.
You would need to consider the strength of the rims you get.

If you went with a 19x8.5 in the front, personally I would stay closer to a +30 offset. If you had to get the +45, I would suggest a 15mm spacer.
Once again, personal preference and what your ultimate goal/end look is.
