On a 8.5" rear, 255 is the absolute widest you want to go. Check the tire specs and they tell you recomended rim widths.
See yeah
Oh yeah, I have bridgstone 050 PP's 255's on mine and LOVE THEM

I have 275/30/19 in the rear with 9.5x10 wheel and it's fine even after lowering springs. No rubbing at all with two people in the back. Haven't try three people in the back tho.

So if you stick with the stock rims looks to be 255's. I know you mentioned you wanted to maintian the same height. I am assuming you mean sidewall height? If that is the case the 255's on the stock rim are going to be a thicker sidewall than what you have now with the 245's. I was going to go 255's myself but decided after looking at the increase in the sidewall I decided to stay with 245's. Kind of wish now I went with the 255's as they do look wider.
