IS-F Replacement tires size

I spoke to my dealer and explained that I would like to get wider Michelin PS2 tires. They offer to buy back the OEM tires when my IS-F arrives in April. What size can I fit on the stock rims? I know that the front is 8" (225/40R19) and rear 9" (255/35R19) wide. I am guessing the replacement tire I can use is 235/35R19 and 265/30R19. Is this correct? I would like to run wider but the stock rims are already too narrow. I like the look of straight vertical sidewalls. I dislike the stretch look the current IS-F stock tire looks. If I go wider like 245/35R19 and 275/30R19 maybe to wide for the rims. I don't like the buldging look either. Appreciate any suggestions on the proper size of tire I should use.

Wheel opening size is identical with the regular IS250/350. The front fenders are actually a lot wider than the rear quarter panels at the wheelhouse.
