I also have 19x8.5 all around & had to roll my fenders. But I had my fenders pulled about an inch so I could fit my 19x9.5 Works in the rear. I was thinking about getting 10-15mm spacers but don't want to deal with having to put in new studs, so I'm gonna try 20mm spacer for the rear with my 19x8.5 wheels. If it's too big maybe I'll just pull my fender a little more or get smaller spacers... who knows...
trial and error
You should determine your rim size by how low you want to go, road conditions in your area, and what kind of rubber you want on your car. If you want to slam your car out & have some beefy tires then get 18's because it's not as easy to do on 19's and on 19's you need thinner tires which isn't great for crappy roads..

really depends on how aggressive you want your car to look or how well you want it to perform, 19s would look nice if you're low enough, 18s would look good too, you wont need to stomp your brakes as hard unless they super light

need to lower that thing, you're rolling 4x4 status!
19's are nice but if you want to go super low get 18's
That's my problem now, I am on 19's and have coilovers..
I want to go lower, but I rub way too much already...

Not just the people either, the hills and roads are pretty crazy, and sooooooo much wilderness and wild animals!

In west virginia you have to avoid hitting animals, huge rocks and tree branches on the road.
In philly we have to watch out for giant potholes and crackheads.
haha
