Welcome to the forums. Sure you can put wider wheels on the car.I see 4 potential setup, that i would like.

1.
Front 19x8.5 et18 with 225/35/19
Rear 19x9.5 et32 +10mm spacer with 255 or 265/30/19

I would add spacer to rear, so it would match the front more, otherwise front would be more aggressive than rear. This would require fender roll to rear. If you use narrower tyre it will fit easier. 225 with 255 is factory size setup.

2.
Front 19x9 et39 with 5-10mm spacer and 235/35/19.
Rear 19x9.5 et32 with 265/30/19.

At front 19x9 et39 is about 4mm from stock shocks. 10mm spacers are hub centric, but 5mm or 8mm aren't, but you can use vac motorsport hub extenders if you are worried about vibration etc. Front doesn't really need the spacer, but it will look better with it. Rear is fine with this setup.

3.
Front 19x9.5 et32 with 235/35/19
Rear 19x9.5 et32 with 255 or 265/30/19

Once again this would be good with 10mm spacer at rear, so it would match the front more. 19x8.5 et18 and 19x9.5 et32 will extend almost to the same point (1mm difference).

Or you could go 235/35/19 also at rear, so you can rotate the wheels between front and rear. With that tyre im pretty sure rear will fit without fender roll.

4.
Front 19x9 et39 with 225/35/19 and 10-15mm spacer
Rear 19x9 et39 with 255/30/19 and 15-20mm spacer

Rear might need fender roll. You can also use 235/35 at front and rear.

This all depends how aggressive setup you want, are you willing to have slight stretch on your tyres and are you willing to do fender modification. When you start playing with spacers and tyre sizes ,there is endless amount of possibilities.

Or u could use setup, that doesn't require you do anything, if you don't want to
19x8 et37 with 235/35/19 and 19x9.5 et32 with 265/30/19. I would add 10mm spacer to front with that setup also.

The recommend E9X setup is quite sunken in.
