Same sidewall height and wider tire and the sqirm lessens, but just by a factor of your added inch and a half vs sidewall height.
60 series tire vs 80 series tires affects the squirm by a factor of 25 to 33 percent.
19.5 vs 16 inch wheels for the same height tires is a genuine change in squirmability.
I have NEVER bought a set of rims in my entire life. I think as dressment they are the worst possible financial decision which can be made.
But
Consider bigger wheels, since you have to replace the tires anyway, if squirm is a factor in your tire decision.

Current wheels are 22.5s so I'm just toying with a wider tire to fit those on the front axle. Current tire is 255/80/22.5
