I have 265/35/19 rear winter tires on stock rims.
the ride quality is alot better(even my wife can feel the difference) IMO without any problems. looks nice & not doen not look too beefy(?) on rims.
the winter tires are really not holding well when I push the car...

Peter,

I'm running 265/35/19 blizzak lm25's on the stock rims and they fit fine with no problems. Unfortunately I went from stockers to snow tires so I can't comment in the handling. I will be replacing the stock rears in the spring and wont hesitate running a 265 tire again. I can snap a pic of how they sit tomorrow.

i know there is a lot of people running a 245/35/19 in the front along with a 275/30/19 in the rear on stock wheels, but is there a reason people arent going with a 245/40/19 and a 275/35/19 instead? clearance issues or appearance issues?

It is primarily because of tire diameter, and speedo error. The 275/30/19 and 245/35/19 is basicly the same diameter as the OEM sizes.
