Wider tires for improved traction ?

i am looking to buy a TC and i have two questions about handling upgrades:
1 - I'm looking at 19 inch rims but I would appreciate any help in trying to determine the widest possible tires.
Tirerack appears to package only 225s with all their 19 inch rim. Aren't wider possible ?
2 - I would like to install either TRD Shocks kit or the TRD Coil-Over kit. I can't decide
because I don't know what effect the choice will have on the question above.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

19s + wide tires + lowering = lots of rubbing.
i'd keep the width to minimum. if traction is a major concern, you shouldnt consider 19s (which are more of an appearance mod for tCs).

thanks for all the replies.
perhaps i took my concern for traction a bit far.
i really would like to keep the rims at 19 inches but finding
a decent range of options at that height is not so easy.
i'll limit the needless complications and stick with 225. thanks again.
