At ET35 you would be a few mm closer to the inner fender. That's probably not enough to cause rubbing but if it did you could 1) roll the fender, 2) use a small spacer, or 3) use slightly narrower tires.
The 19" wheel diameter won't be a problem as long as the tire diameter is the same or slightly less than your 18" tires. The OEM tire diameter is 26" FWIW.
Good luck! If you get the wheels be sure to post pics of your car with the wheels.
