The ride quality wouldn't be that different...personally I think 19"s fill the wheel wells better.

18's are boys wheels.
19's belong to the men.

choice is yours.

With that offset and width - the wheel will stick out. Find another wheel that's is 19X8 with a +45 or higher offset.

whats the ABSOLUTE recommended offset for an 18" and a 19" rim...because you have people throwin out random #'s sayin anything about +45 is good, but what would be perfect?

18X8 or 19X8 in a +50 offset is perfect.

I wouldn't buy ADRs in 19s. They are prone to cracking/bending. Stick with 18s unless you can get a stronger (read: forged) wheel. SSR, Racing Hart, HRE...yeah right.
