Dealership told me I couldn't put larger wheels on my 2004 CLK500 without lots of work, said it would mess with the ESP. What are these guys talking about?

I didn't listen to them.
Now, I know that differant sized wheels bolt on.
But does it effect the ESP in any way?
If so what has to be done to make it work properly.

Some people lift there rides just to stuff the largest wheels they can under it, doesnt make it right.

Only if the tires have a different circumference front to back. If so, at some high speed, the ESP will think a wheel has lost traction and will take corrective actions. If all are the same circumference it won't be a problem.

Go to ebay and check under mercedes clk rims. They have about 160 various rims for sale. The offset is usually an inch with the clk. With 19" I'd get 19"x8.5" front/19"x9.5" rear.
