Don't worry too much about the width of the tire. Its the width of the wheel that will dictate what tires you can put on.
As above, if you have 19x9 & 19x10 wheels you can't use 255/50-19s safely on all four wheels. However, you CAN use the 275/45-19s safely on all four of your existing wheels.
Also, if you're concerned about the speedo being off, using 275s will make your speedo read 1.2% faster. At an indicated 60mph the actual speed will only be 59.3 mph.
So, it'll help you from speeding too much (a tiny little bit)!
