input. I heard there might be some concern with the tire being to wide and spraying ricks and mud into the side of the car but that sounded kind of far fetched for me. Please let me know!

Default no lots of people run 19"......

offset is the only thing that will affect "spraying ricks and mud"

Default I ran that set up last year with CH's and plan to do so again in a few months. I didn't...

have any issues and didn't notice any unusual spraying of rocks or mud. As for the fitment issue, there's no categorical answer since rubbing will depend on a number of factors, such as drop and tire brand since some tires run wider than others. Howeve, even if you rub, you can rectify that by fender rolling or trimming the the inside of your fender.
