opinions please?

So i decided to go with Konig Torch matte black rims on my asphault FR-S.
the rims are 19x9.5 in the back and 19X8.5 in the front. tires will be Nitto invo
255/30/19 in the back and 223/35/19 in the front. car will not be lowered and i will be adding a lip kit on it at some point. so will this look good?

I have bought Konig wheels before. I had clear coat issues with them after about a year. Hopefully you don't have this issue.

I feel that the car looks better lowered. 19's are for looks, so I'd lower it. Eibach Prokit springs, TRD springs, RCE Yellow springs, (there are more examples of conservative drop springs) are all an inch drop or less. These will not negatively affect the handling and will make the car look good. Especially with 19's!
