New wheels

Ok so I am planning on getting 19" rims, should I drop my car one inch with the eibach pro kit or 1.5" with the sport line kit. I was thinking 19x8.5 in the front and 18x9.5 in the back offset +45 on both. I basically want it to look like this but I was wondering if the drop will affect it anyway?

imo, 19's don't look right on these cars, makes it look "tall". It kinda reminds me of a camaro with big wheels. It just looks big, and not "flush" nor "clean".

Only person that was able to pull it off was Greg's BRZ:
19x10 rear, 19x9 front, dropped on bags.







Only 19" rims I really like.

I still dont get your question. The guy in your link has the wheels you want, with the springs you want on his car. So why not just ask him if hes happy and if he had some rubbing? I dont want to be an asshat, I really just dont understand whats your question here.
