Default Any New yorker has 19 fat set up?

Hello fellow New Yorkers. Is any one has 19 fat set up? If you do, can you let me know your experience? I am a newbie plan to get new wheels devating bet 18(normal) and 19(fat). Performance is key issue for me. I love the look of 19 but the set up kill the performance, I'll go with 18.

What you guys think?

Default Get 20s and call it a day. I have 19s with the fat set up->

Although it looks good, our Gs looks much better with 20s.

Performance difference between 18s and 19s is negligible unless you're at a track and also depends on wheel brand/style/weight.

I've got 245/40/18's - looks great but I wish I'd gone 245/40/19's to better fill out the wheel wells. Unfortunately there are not many tires to choose from in a 245/40/19.
