Yes, but if you go with the cpe 19s and you plan on lowering go with a 35 series tire or you will have to roll the fender lips.
rolling lips and 35 series = extra protection on rubbing.
btw, you should give more info like cpe 18s or cpe 19s such as my ava
seriously search--there is a wealth of great info, and you can select some people to pm. b4 u pm them check their recent post history to make sure they are recent and active members or good luck on getting a response.

find a rim shop/body shop that uses a professional hub-mounted rolling tool and a heat gun. If they have those 2 things and take their time, you get no paint crack or sheetmetal wavyness. It just folds the inner lip flat against the inside of the fender so the tire won't hit it during suspension travel. resist the do it at home, baseball bat and hairdryer folks and also the rent a tool and do it yourself folks. Had mine done and it was good. You can tell them to give you a gentle crease instead of a hard crease and then they won't run the tool over and over trying to get it super flat which will lessen chances of wavyness.
If you don't want to do that, just run 245/35/19 tires and I think you should be fine unless you have 3 250 pound friends sitting out back.
If you go with 40 series tires and lower 1" and have crap in the trunk and rear passengers, I believe the consensus is rubbing....40 series tires + z springs and no passengers and cargo = occasional rubbing on bumps and such.

I recall mine was like $35 per side in that neighborhood.(70 bucks total or so)
check around with others about whether you will rub. From what I recall, you won't rub on stock height but lowered you will.

Yes even with z springs. It's just because of the coupe 19's offsets
Reason why people have rubbing issues with coupe 19's on a sedan is because the offsets are low for us sedan fellas. +30 and a +33 makes them very flush with the fender, therefore, the tire will hit the fender lip instead of hiding inside the wheel well. Rolling fenders is not a big issue. If you find yourself rubbing a bit, rolling fenders is a easy cheap fix. I got 05 revised suspension/springs and coupe 19's with a 40 series tire in the back and only rub when I hit hard bumps or on an incline in the rear. Fronts a 35 series and have no rubbing issues at all. I'll be getting them rolled a bit soon
