I remember reading pricing tires for 19 are just as expensive or more that 20s due to how they are fabricated. From cars in the past I always do suspension first them buy rims. If you are not going to drop the car go for the 18's!!!

Exactly. I have the same setup - 19's on a fat setup. I'd go to 20's if I could do it all over again. I pay more for 19 inch tires than I do for 22 inch tires on my LX470. Either go 18's for stock height or 20's if you're going to lower it.

19's Dropped FTW! I remember 19in tires being super expensive back in the late 90's when 20's were still hot. Since then many new cars are fitted with 19's from the factory. I don't notice a significant price increase over 18/20's anymore but I could be wrong.
If there is difference I personally won't mind it for the extra rubber The added comfort and added pothole-cracked wheel protection is worth it.
