I'm running 18" Nismo wheels with Nismo full suspension. The only benefit to 19's is cosmetic, but not worth the harsher ride and increased risk of wheel damage especially given my already increased stiffness with the aftermarket suspension.

Actually, the IDEAL set-up would be 18" in front and 19" in the rear. A 245/40/18 front tire and a 275/35/19 rear tire would actually have comparable side wall heights.

Don't have my wheels yet. Do-Luck said they are in the next shipment due to arrive in early August.
I'll post my hyper black wheels when I get them on,
but here's the gold ones. Double Six wheels only come in 18".
I have the Hotchkis springs and ordered 8.5 and 9.5 with +25 offset

Please be sure to post some pics when you install them! I've been eyeing up those wheels for quite awhile, but don't know of anyone who actually has them. I believe that that weigh approx 18-19 pounds each in the sizes you mention.
