There are many factors to think about. In most cases a 18" would actually be more advantageous over a 19" due to the fact that it will likely have less rotational mass. However, with this in mind you will also have a much harder time clearing big brake kits. Also, the 19s seem to be more cosmetically pleasing to the eye, although that is merely personal opinion. There are also several 19s which come in an 11" width, where it is harder to find 18s made in an 11" width. Just a few things to think about
