i have 19x9.5 in the rear (monoblock VI's). i didn't have to roll my fenders. the fenders were pretty much rolled from the factory. there is no rubbing at all. i have a 2001 c240. sorry i don't have pics yet.

depends also on how low your car is

one guy i knew put 19 x 10 at the rear and his car is damn low, depends on the ofset of the wheels, i have 19 x 9 with 265 tyres and it rubbed the fender pretty bad, because i have small ofset.

Around thirtyish, maybe 32. 'Don't make the offset too big though as you will not have that deep dish look. What kind of wheel are you getting just curius??
