Here are some guidelines to follow if you're looking to upgrade to 19 inch wheels:

Front Fitment :

Wheels - 19 X 8 to 8.5 with offsets ranging from +35 to 45 depending how aggressive you want your set-up to be .

Tires - 225 to 235 width

Rear Fitment :

Wheels - 19 X 9.5 to 10 10 with offsets ranging from +35 to 45 . Again, depending how aggressive you want your set-up to be .

Tires - 275 to 285 width

This is what my set-up consists of :

19 X 8 +31 235/35/19

19 X 10 +31 275/30/19
