To maintain the original tire size, you're going to want to go with a 235/35/19. If you go with a 245/35/19, you'll be running a larger overall diameter than you should be. If you want run huge sizing in the rear, I would suggest you run a staggered setup with 235/35/19 in front and & 265/30/19 which are matched just about perfect in sizing. I can't see any reason why the 265's wouldn't fit, there's lots of room in the rear fenderwell.

Nice wheels. Any idea how much each wheel weighs?

There is no point in running wider tires in the back really. There isn't any torque going to those wheels. I suppose they look cool (a subjective matter), but other than that, not very functional.
