Negatives of 19" wheels and suitable tyres (relative to smaller diameter rims with suitable somewhat higher profile tyres):

Inferior handling performance (because of excessively short / stiff sidewall)

Inferior handling performance (because of increased unsprung weight)

Increased harshness (because of excessively short / stiff sidewall)

Increased rotational mass (slower acceleration / impaired braking because of heavier rims)

Increased risk of rim damage (because of excessively short / stiff sidewall)

Increased risk of sidewall damage (because of excessively short / stiff sidewall)

Greater sensitivity to steering and suspension geometries (being correct or not)

Possible increased tyre wear (because of excessively short / stiff sidewall interacting with less than perfect geometry)

Looks silly (because it just does)

Positives-

Increased steering response (because of short / stiff sidewalls)

Umm.......

But if you insist in 19", they do fit your ride of course..4 cyl or 6 cyl?

Your post interested me until you got to that part. That's where i would disagree. I think 19's look great on a 6th gen and up.

4 cyl takes the 19" rims with the following size
tires...25/35/19
Also your rims should be a 4 lug hole wheel if you have the 4 cyl engine...4X114.3 mm offset runs @ 35-42mm

235. Convert rim width from inches to millimeters.
