Noob Tire Question - Can I use 255/40R19 on stock 19's

Hi,
so I blew one of my tires other day (only a month old) and its not repairable. Having a helluva time finding replacements here (looks like the Potenza's are hard to get a hold of)

Long story short, found 2 rears with 255/40R19 and wondering if these would work ok (stock tires spec is 245/40R19).
Car is completely stock

thanks in advance!

P.S if anyone is willing to sell their Potenza's to me I have cash on hand!

I have that set up. 235/35/19 front and 255/40/19. Its perfect. No problems at all with VDC.

on the rears you can. Another option is 245/35 up front and get the 255/40 in back.
