19" alloys will fit straight on, but you must have the correct offset and alloy width, otherwise the wheels will rub.

All alloy wheels have an offset.

The back of the wheel mounts onto the hub of the car the flat face of the back of the wheel that mounts to the hub is where the measurement of the offset is taken from.

Lets say you have an 8" wheel width. If the face is exactly in the middle ie 4" in then the offset is zero. if the face is 50mm further over to the outside edge of the wheel it is known to have a +50 offset.
