I am in the exact same situation and that's why I went with the 255/35 and 275/35 setup when my tires recently wore out. Those sizes are perfectly fine on the stock 19" wheels. You won't have any problems or anything. The 255 looks just a bit too big, that's all. RAC wheels will be 9"/10" so 255/275 would be a good fit for those. You can go 255/285 or 265/285 as well. I suspect 265/285 would be OK on the stock rims, but I'd check the chart on tirerack (Michelin's recommended rim width ranges for any size tire are listed there).
