Default Which size tire would seal the bead best?

So I have a hard time sealing the beads on my tires so I think I'll need to get different set of tires for my rear wheels. The odd thing is the tires seal when off the car. I have 235/35/19 on 10.5" wheel and non of them seal for some reasons one wheel is very bad but I found out the other wheel also don't seal. They only leak when the weight of the car is on. So i was thinking if i should get 235/40/19 or 245/35/19 but not sure which would seal better. I don't have much room anymore for wider tire, but I'll add more camber to fit wider tires if i have too. Also which brand tire do you guys recommend for better tire bead sealing?
Here is how much room i have for wider tire.

on a wheel that wide, you should have a 265 or wider... that you don't have room means you should pull the fenders... do it right, IMO that looks dumb with the wheel sticking out so much from the tire and I can't imagine the wheel lasting long on Missouri roads...
