Smile Question about Wheels and offset for W203

Hi,
I got a C240 2002 with W203 base.
I recently just bought wheels online and it's still on its way.
The front wheels are 19"x8.5 and I am planning to put 235/35/19 for the tires
The rear wheels are 19"x9.5 and the tires are 265/30/19.
I went to the tires shop yesterday and they told me that the max it can go is 19"x8.0 for the front and 19"x9.0 for the rear.
I have no idea about this because the store that I bought these wheels from said they've installed it before in C-class and it works.
Are there any of you guys who ever installed wheels in that size? Will that work?
Thank you

Max you can go is 19x8.5/10 like I have. It really depends on the offset though

thank you

thanks,
but do you think that wheels that I bought will fit if I roll the fender lip?
When you said 19x8.5 is that for the front or the rear?
Thank you

Front...the rear you might have to roll/shave ESPECIALLY if going 10
