if you go with 19" then sizes that will match proper required front/rear outer diameter ratio (rears .5-1" taller than fronts) will be 235/285, 235/295 or 245/305. 305 tire want 11" or 11.5" wide rim.
295 is too wide for 10" rim, it wants 11" too or at least 10.5". 275, 285 will sit on 10" OK.
so if you go with 8"/10" then you can get tires from 225/275 to 235/285.
8.5"/11" will allow most popular sizes from 235/285 to 245/305.
for 315 rear tire you need 11.5", for 335 you need 12" for tire to sit on a rim properly. widest rubber 9" rim takes OK is 265, 275 sits on it a bit wobbly.

The front offset is good with rotated strut tops - would work for 245 up to 255 tires.
The rear offset would sit (OEM ET68 - 25mm (1 inch) = 43, 43-50= -7) 7 mm in board than the current stock wheel.
These would work, but I really encourage you to look at 18s if you want to go this route - there will be much more tire choice to make what you want to do (less grip) work - the reason is that many of the Audi, BMW and Merc 18" tire sizes from their Sline, M and AMG cars fall into your potential tire choices.
