Most people go for 19x9.5 & 19x10.5 but nothing wrong with what you listed. The ride quality may dip slightly with the lower profile tire
but the handling and appearance of a quality wheel and tire will more than make up for it.

If you can attend a local meet and get a ride in a friends car with an aftermarket setup that would be a good way to determine it for yourself.

going wider will not alter your ride much if at all. You can run 19x10 in front as well and a 19x11 or 12 in the rear too.

I am running 20 x 10 up front and 20 x 12 in the rear as an example.

That is the stock size for the Sport package. Wider tires and rims are a little more prone to tram-lining but other than that ride quality generally isn't affected (a little more road noise maybe depending on tire selected).

Thanks, my setup is 19x8.5 (+5) & 19x9.5 (+10) w 20mm spacers.

EDIT: My wheels are very similar to the Volk TE-37's (minus one spoke) that other members in this thread have purchased:
