19" wheels leave the factory with 255's which personally are way too narrow for 9" wide wheels.

See, I like the 255's.

your rims will hit before the tires!

You might need to shop for a tire with a bit more rim protection. The Direzzas I have now are pretty good in that regard. So are the RE01Rs that Danielle runs.

255 is it for me, I'm afraid of rubbing the wheel wells.

there just isn't enough sidewall to give any protection.

the Conti's are narrower than other brands (my 255 Dunlops have a larger tread width and offer more rim protection from curbs). You should be able to lookup tread width (and sectional width) specs directly on tire manufacturer websites. When looking at 295 width tires for another vehicle, variances of up to 1" between brands were not uncommon in the same size range. And an extra .50" is all you might need for the extra protection.

can you explain how the wheel wells get rubbed, do you mean the tires are so big they actually hit the vehicle's body, sorry i'm a complete noob when it comes to tires etc lol

Yes, rubbing means the tire sidewall is contacting the body at the fender lip inside the wheel well.

Mine already do when I'm thrashing!
