what are your tire measurements and how is the ride switching from 18s to 19s? how much more bumpy and loud is it compared to stock?
Yes stock plus 2 in mi case since my car had 17's (for like 30 seconds) 19*8.5 225/35 front 19*8.5 255/30 rear pirelli pzero summer tires. IMHO it rides better than stock with no noticeable difference on the bumps, we have horrible roads here in Ohio.

by case you mean spacers?
have you gone through a pot hole yet? did it hold up?
how is the steering? i'm sure its not as sharp, but not too bad right?
if there's no noticeable difference in bumps can you describe how it rides better than stock?

much thanks in advance for answering my questions.

To avoid any issues I got my wheels to match the same specs as the 19f sport wheels that are available for this car from Lexus. Since Lexus offers that size as an accessory through their dealers I'm sure they did some nvh testing on the is with those wheels. I have driven through roads with exposed casings, pot holes, rough roads and tight curves, the handling has been spot on and quick. Ride is near factory quiet and smooth, I love it.
