Default Tire and wheel fitment issue help needed

I just off off the phone with kgmotoring about their ruff wheels. I already have Nitto Invo 305/30/19 tires for the rear and 275/35/18's for the front. I had wheels order from somewhere else but getting screwed on the shipment date. But anyway kgmotoring says those tire will fit on 9.5 rear wheels and 8.5 wheels on the front. I thought the wheels had to be wider. Anyone have feed back on this? They said they've gone up to 315's on the back just fine Help please...

Those tires should not be run on those wheels, the minimum rim size for the fronts is 9" the rears 10.5"

You are correct on the front, the rears require at least 10.5" however.
