Like I said below. 255 is too small of a tire for a 10" wide rim.

However, If you want to be able to use your existing staggered setup with the SAME tires front & back - you can use 275/45-19 safely.
275/45-19s can be mounted all the way up to 10.5" wide rims.

If you want to keep your existing wheels, and want to use the same size tires all around, use 275/45-19.
Also, strange that swapping side-to-side at the rear caused the idiot light to go off. I wouldn't think that would cause any problems as its the same wheels and tires. Usually the light comes on because of low pressure in a tire or difference in tire diameter (like due to wear).
