It's possible, but with a 9" rim, it's a little on the tight side. Ideal rim width is 9.5"

You could do 265/30/19. There also appears to be more choices in that size than with 255/35/19. With the 2% gearing reduction you'd have slightly quicker acceleration, but also have a slightly larger wheel gap or go with 265/35/19 which is only 1% higher gear increase and would slightly fill the rear wheel gap. 275 width on a 9" rim is just too much IMO.

what do you mean gear increases and decreases?

When you go with a taller tire than stock you effectively lower your gear ratio (numerically) at the wheels and therefore decrease acceleration slightly. The reverse holds true for a slightly smaller tire. With the sizes mentioned I doubt you would notice the difference.

My next set of tires will be 265/35/19 for the rear. 255 is just not wide enough for the power. The 225's up front are fine though.
