Seems quite wide. What size tyres were you planning on fitting and are you planning on lowering?

8.5" wheels should be no problem. More than 9" is probably more of a challenge. |

Anyways, as above, my pref would be to go for a 8.5" on the back, 8" up front.

Front 19x8.5ET40 with 225/35 and back 19x10ET50 with 255/30 fits. A very slight roll of the front arches might be necessary, but otherwise it fits like a charm. (19x)8.5ET45 is also widely available and should give enough clearance.
Same goes for 9.5ET45 in the back, with same tyres. I fitted Falken FK-453's. Your choice of tyre will be important as well. Some brands are more square and might cause rubbing. |

Depends on your tyre size.
Logically, you'll try and get a similar diameter but as you will be running a higher tyre, you might be more square and thus might rub easier than with a (semi) stretched 19" tyre. |
