Default my 19BR5's, or the stock 17, serious question

I have 19's BR5's from my previous car, i believe its 19/48offset, and 8, anyways I bought the lexo b/c of the way it drives and how handles the road, but the rims i have I don't like. Anyways, my question is to the people who have 19", does it ruin ride quality, will I feel every pebble on the street??
When i had them on before, I had lo-pro tires, so maybe if i increase the tire thickness it can lessen the ride, possible?
inotherwords, will 19" drive me nuts?
if not, what tire size???
And do i got to put a bigger tire on the back, or do I really have to buy bigger rims???

You already had 19s from another car, but then you ask what the ride quailty is going to be with 19s? Have you ever riden on these wheels before?

nice answer, but im only asking b/c i presume on a different ride u get a different feel. My friend has a civic, it drove worst than mine(i had a TL) and we had the same set-up. So i came to the conclusion, maybe some1 has the same rims, but w/ different tires, and maybe that one person can explain to me if its worth it?

Well I have a 95 Sc300 when I put 19s on I felt alot more of the road compared to the stock tires. I think you would feel alot more of the road with and type of low profile tire.
