Default Wheel Upgrade 18's Vs 19's

Now I know is has been discused before and I did do a sesarch but had no luck for some reason.

I want to keep the comfort of my stock ride with a bigger wheel 18's or 19's what's the best way to have both? What would be the best tire size and choice brand? Is there that much differnce in look between the two wheel sizes?

for 18s, personally i think at 245/40/18 and 275/35/18 the ride should still be pretty darn good
for 19s, if you want the comfort, get overspec tires, so overall diameter is 1" above spec but you get the same sidewall as the 18s. meaning 245/40/19 and 275/35/19.

for tires, if you want quiet and comfort, get the pzero nero or the michelin a/s. i have had both and i think they are aweome tires. very quiet and comfortable
