The 19's will be heavier than 18's, so acceleration and handling will be reduced the heavier your wheels are (abet not drastically worse). And ride quality will be harsher with 35 series tires. Lastly, your car likely will look 4x4 running 19's on stock ride height.
With that said, if you're still set on 19's, because some look really good on this car...I wouldn't get 19x8 +48 wheels, as they'll be sunk into the wheel well too much. You can use this guide to determine what width/offset will provide a more aesthetically flush fitment.

Flush Wheel Offset Chart
Code:
WHEEL |-- STOCK HEIGHT --| |-- LOWERED 1" --|

8.0 +38 +31 +36 +26

Wow, thanks a lot for the very helpful advice...I really appreciate it!
