I have 8.5 42 on the back.
I checked clearance by compressing the suspension & had a good 10mm clearance.
( i have Z springs too)
So it will depend on the tires & camber.
Don't know if you've seen this chart b4.. it's been posted several times.
But you can see the 9.5 42 is slightly outside but it will tuck.

(watch what rim width they use)
Tire Rack has most of the data, but after you narrow your choice confirm
on the mfg web site as well.
I've seen errors on TireRack

Worst case scenario you can have a bodyshop do a MILD fender roll. I can't stress enough MILD. Nothing that will stress and crack the paint on the quarter panel.
Here is a pic I found with the Volks you're looking at and pics of my car loaded to give you an idea how close you will be.

19x8.5 +46 and 19x9.5 +49
Would that work decently Chico or would it be too much?

TGenius...
As for the fender-clearance issue, don't forget that you also have the option of putting a slightly narrower tire on the wide wheels. What that will do is stretch the sidewalls, making them \ __ / ...when your suspension compresses, it also creates negative camber...combined, you can run lower offsets & create that look I think you're looking for.
The stretched look has been popular for quite some time now. The only thing alot of people don't like about it is that it exposes your wheels' lip more...making it more prone to curbing if you suck at parallel parking. But, thats up to you to be more careful...I know you'll love the look, though! ^-^
To get the stretch:
Wheel - 8.5 inch wide
Tire - 235mm
Wheel - 9.5 inch wide
Tire - 265mm
