A lot depends on what you do or plan on doing with your car.
AND
Do you have stock suspension with stock ride height?

If you're still stock suspension and height those wheels and tires should fit. If you're lowered at all I would not do it.

I run 17" 235/45's all around with TEIN flex coilovers lowered as much as I can. No problem with the width but I do bottom out on my front fenders under hard bracking into a corner on a road course. I could actually go a little wider and maybe 18" in the back.

The big wheel with very low profile fad is just that...a fad. But not usually the best performance, and ride comfort sucks. Real performance tires have more sidewall to give the tire better strength under lateral g's.

But, if you just want to look cool and cruise around that 19" stuff should work. The width at least is fine and my guess with stock factory set-up height should be OK too.

Go to this link (or others) to punch in tire size numbers and compare.
