Help with Tire size

Hello all,

First, I'd like to let you know I don't know much about cars and specs, other than the very basics. So please excuse my newb status.

I am on my 2nd set of Beyern Mesh 20" rims and now going to my 3rd set. My first set is damaged, and I can't seem to keep my tires inflated on my 2nd set because of the crappy roads in RI.

I am done with 20's, the road in Rhode Island is too crappy and my rims are cracking like nuts in December. I've spent way too much money to keep 20's in my car, no more. I've decided to slim to 19's now and want more meat on my tires but want to stick with Beyern Mesh because I love these rims too much.

Tire size I had on my 20" rims, front and rear both 8.5 width

Front - 245/30/20 (Hankooks)
Rear - 255/30/20 (Nankang, these are very low quality tires, never buy them)

My 19's will be this, 8.5 front and 9.5 rear width.

Front - 245/35/19
Rear - 275/35/19

Will this work? I want the widest and thickest without rubbing or issues. I'd like to order them today or tomorrow as I can't stand my stock wheels right now, took my 20's out already. Also any pictures of your car etc will be very helpful.

Btw, can someone explain to me what offsets are? and teach me how to measure mine? I have no idea what this is.

THANK YOU in advance.
