I just installed a 19" front last night. The tire doesn't look right to me, it should have a higher profile. I guess they wanted to keep it the same overall diameter as the stock 17".

Thats what I was thinking. I almost like the look of the 18" better. I think it would look better if the rotors were more open.

Went with the 18 as the deal was right... Don't like being limited on what tire I can use so would not do the 19...

So did you change the rear wheel too? And if not, is it noticable?
