A new set of spares

Don't worry about the 40 series, I understand that is tall so think about a lower series for this.
My current wheels are 10" wide and +42 offset with a 275 rear
The new 19's are 8.5" at +33
That means they will sit 10.05mm in further. So if a 275 fits currently being 10mm out more, why won't this one?

Same principle applied on the JDM VIP style, where people can fit in rims with crazy offset because they stretch their tires like SHXt... like 255 on a 10" rim.. such that the side wall is so stretched that their is phyiscally NO RUBBER on the side to rub the fender...
Hope this helps =)

I agree it will bulge and not stretch but I don't think it will bulge 10mm on each side. Maybe it will...

There are a number of people with 275's on 8.5" coupe wheels.
Tire rack even lists it as an optional size
