Both front and rear will likely have clearance issues on the inside. At the limits of what is possible with a lot of trouble/spacers/caliper clearance, etc.

Ditto what Drew said. Those are a pretty aggressive fitment and there could be a number of issues.
If you really like 19's, I have a set of staggered AMG wheels for sale (link) that fit with zero problems... 100% bolt-on. Dunno if they are your cup 'd tea though.
Just for reference, my car came with 18x10,5 ET19 with 235 tires front and 18x11,5 ET29 with 265 tires rear. It clears on the inside with an hair and actually not on the outside - but it does due to the narrow tires relative to the rim width. Not my cup of tea with that extreme tire stretch, but I suppose the PO enjoyed it. It's not a direct comparison to the sizes you have in mind, but it gives an idea about it though.
Switzerland. I bought the car at a small dealer and asked him about meeting the PO when he came over with the docs for the car the next day. I just wanted to say hello and have a chat about his ownership, but the dealer was reluctant and said "...maybe you won't like to meet him".
Quite a special experience I would say, but so it be - he got the cash - I took the car - deal done!
The dealer was nice BTW, but he didn't know much about the 036 generally and couldn't say much about the 6.0 conversion and the supercharger kit.
