Well, it's an illusion. The 19" wheels will seem to fill the wheel well more - and they do for sure. At the same time, the car will appear noticeably higher when looking at the front bumper. The wheel gap isn't larger, in fact it's now smaller on mine. I can fit only one finger in front between my tire and my fender - but the car sits up higher because the overall diameter of the rim and tire is greater than before.

The difference in ride height between a 16" rim with 205/55 tires compared to a 19" rim with 235/35 tires is huge. The 19" rims lift the car considerably - almost an inch and a half...although my car was so damn low with 16's, now it is just right with 19's. With 16's my car is a pebble busta.
