To answer the question it will depend on a couple of things. If you get all the variables right you won't need to do anything, but considering you are running a 19 and that will require you to lower your vehicle more than say a 17 or 18, to maintain proper proportions and aesthetics, I would say yes to rolling the fenders.
If you can get a good shop to do it without cracking the paint, then do it as a precautionary measure.

These are the questions to ask yourself or look for in wheel options:

1. Run a 235 in the front, can put phattys in the back. This hopefully, w/ the proper offset won't require you to roll.
2. Compare the section widths for the tires you want to run. Certain brands have a smaller width even though they are branded the same size.
3. Look at the offset of the wheel, any input from existing 19ers would be beneficial here.
4. The back really doesn't matter. You can run some good width back there with the right suspension setup.

Enjoy your journey and let me know if I can help,

If you want to tuck the vehicle that should be easy to fit. Just get like 19,8's and 19,9's. Offsets would be easy to figure out. For max fitment that would be a little more difficult and would guarantee rolling.
