tire size question, need some quick help!

[Amun Ra]

Okay, I'm running a set of 19 X 8.5 rims with a +35mm offset and 245/35/19 tires. I have absolutely no clearance issues. Now, I've lost 3 tires to pot holes in my lovely city and I feel the urge to move on up... pretty crazy I know, but I have two options. option 1, would anyone know if a 255/40/19 tire would fit without issues? Keeping in mind the +35mm offset. Option 2, move on up to 20's and what would be the tallest tire i could run? I'm guessing a 35 series would be it..

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

if you want more rubber and less rim go smaller not bigger, more tire less flats from pot holes

yep or increase your tire size to a 245/40
