By my calculations you will have the following:

Fronts:
Inner Clearance: -39 mm (the inside of the wheel to the strut housing)
Outer Position: +11 mm (position of the outside edge of the wheel)

Rears:
Inner Clearance: + 2 (the inside of the wheel to the strut housing)
Outer Position: + 52 (position of the outside edge of the wheel)

That will not work on a NB (not sure about a WB).

I would not recommend 19's. They are heavier and more expensive.

However, if you want the 19" look, I'd pick something along the following lines.

Front 8" or 8.5" x 19" ET "around" 40 to 50
Rear 10" or 11" x 19" ET 65

Call Wheel Enhancement to confirm fit prior to purchase.
