245 tire on 9.5" rim

Just found a good deal on a set of 19x8.5/9.5 Work Varianza T1S. I JUST bought 245/40/19 tires so I don't want to buy wider tires. Will the 245 tire work on the 9.5 rear rims?

What kind of tires are they? The OEM Bridgestone's will work for rim sizes 8-9.5 in. Just check the tire manufacturer's website. It should state the range of rim sizes the tire will work for.

Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum. Just checked Kumho's website, it says it should work. Is $1000 for a badly oxidized set of Varianzas a good deal?

I didn't save the pics but the lips of a couple wheels had dark splotches all over them. Offsets is 38 front, 36 rear. I guess I didn't think about fitting a 9.5 rim in the rear
