Adrean, as much as you track your car, I'd get 18's if I were you. Of course offset is the main issue with rubbing, but 18's are gonna be lighter, have more tire options, cheaper tires, ride better, etc.

Notice how many with 19's are running 245/35 rears which is distinctly taller than what they have on the front because you can't find many 255/30's. Plus who really wants to run 30 profiles on Atlanta streets. I put 235/35's up front and I think they are too tall for how far I'm lowered so I'll probably go back to 225's on my next set.

Of course I also love my 19's but if I had not found them I'd definitely be on some Volk or Advan 18's. John is right though, when I had the size tires he has my speedometer did seem much more accurate.
