Offset? tire size? staggered fitment?
19 x 8.5 will be a tight squeeze on the front, and fender roll/pull may be necessary unless you're lucky with perfect fitment. for the rear it should be fine.

Just enter your original size on the left side and whatever you want on a right - it will tell you results.
Good luck.

I put 17" on my 95 C220 . They fronts rubbed when backing up. I was "told" I could go 18, glad I only went 17.
The larger the wheel, the thiner the tire. Makes for better cornering but may stiffin your ride up feeling more bumps in the road (less tire there)
5x112 is your lug pattern. Look up and be aware of your off set.
ALSO:
You may need shorter bolts when using after market wheels. The original spec ones may turn out to be to long, screwing into the rotor.
AND...You will most likely need a hubcentric ring. A washer like thing that will fill up some space on the hub. If you do not have it, the tires will wobble like they are in need of serious balancing.
Hope this helps.

19x8.5 is going to be tight for sure, you'll need the offset of the wheels to confirm, and to figure out what spacers you'll likely need. As others pointed out getting an agressive sized wheel is going to require both effort & more cash on your part for a diminished ride quality.
IMO I'd sooner go 18x8, than worrying about the hassles of the 19x8.5 unless you are prepared to swap spring pads, buy spacers, etc.
