I like the AMG wheels but feel the 18" size is not large enough by todays standards? Will going to 19s look OK as far as fender well gap. I don't want a big gap there.

And which AMG 19s go best on this body style?

What standard? You can fit 20"s but the ride will suck . If you put the correct tires on the car wheel size will have no difference in fender gap.

The standard today would be to not put 18" wheels on an AMG car. Just trying to give a cosmetic update that works.

It has to be 19s on the CLK 18s just don't cut it on the car and 20s are too much unless your going for a fully modified car.
