Stock tire height is 25.66 in. The 245's are 25.75in and the 255's are 26.03 in tall. I doubt anyone will notice .25 in of tire height.

I would go with a 275 to try to avoid looking like you're driving a horse-drawn wagon.

I have 285/30/19s out back and they look SUPER narrow.

IMO, go with the 255/35/19's, they'll give you a little more width(+traction) and sidewall height(+ride).

heres a pic of a 19x8.5 wheel with a 245 35 19 on it.
im running 19x9.5 rears with a 275 30 19 and the rear tires are just a hair more low pro.
for a 8.5 wheel a 245 fits perfect.
if you hit the fquick link in my sig there are some more pics of my benz.

I had 255/35/19 on my vette on a 10 inch wheel. it's a decent sized tire and IMO a little too wide for a 8.5 wheel. You will have alot of tread unused on both sides and lose some steering response but gain a little softer ride. a 245/35/19 will fit alot better and look better to me but that's my opinion. I prefer a more euro look like porsches and ferraris with tight fit tires. if you are a fan of beefy look tires like the stock 275/40/17 on 9 inch ss rims then 255 may be the look you are after.
