This looks like just width. Makes me think just get a 19 inch rim, doesn't matter the width and just put a tire of the same exact depth on it and bingo. Or is there something subtle I don't understand here???
The second number is the sidewall height and is expressed as a percentage of the width (which is in mm).

So to calculate the height (diameter) of the front tire, you multiply 245 by 35% and multiply by two (cause of sidewall at bottom and top), then divide that mount by 25.4 to convert it into inches, and add 19" (the diameter of the wheel).

Hope that's clear.
