It depends on the particulars of your car and what rims you choose. 19x7.5" will fit, but If your car is dropped a lot, then you'll have some trouble shoving huge rims in there.
Read up on rim offsets too, cuz those will also have a factor in it if your car is lowered.

For Sedan go 18's max. Sometimes bigger rims don't exactly mean better looking. I have a sedan and I went with 17's and Neuspeed Sport drop. My springs finally settled 100% after like 6 months. It looks good, not too big but not too small. My fenders are like 1 finger gap in the back and about 2 fingers in the front. Day to day driving would be better with 17's too, that is if you live in sh!tty areas like me. Either way, 17 or 18 would look nice.

The biggest you can go without taking away from the performance of your car is 17's. But if you want to go to shows and stuff then get 18's.

Ive got 19's on my coupe and they fit perfect with a goldline drop. I love the way they take up all the fender gap and at the same time they dont rub at all. If you are going for show then I highly suggest 19's but if not then dont get them bc the car is sluggish as H3LL with the big rims on it.
