18s are just fine! The C6R races with 18s on the corners. IMO they look as good or better than 19s. Just checkin how your front spacers worked out. Sent a PM.

19's okay for...
Dallas, SoCal, Arizona, Florida where the weather is moderate and the roads good. In the midwest, with our snow/ice/potholes, I've found the 19's to be too little protection for the rims, and thus have scarred up a $1000 set of Falken's. Am going back to 18's in the spring.

I listed the offsets in the first post, but here they are again.
Front: 18x8" -40 mm offset
Rear: 18x9" -35 mm offset
BTW, I recently replaced my OEM rears with a lower profile tire (255/35-18), and it looks and fits a lot better. The reduced diameter also gives a 3.7% increase in torque to the ground.
