Default Keep base 18s?

I have a base 370z w/o sport package. Considering new wheels and wanted to get opinions...

1. Considering SSR F silver and a couple of the gram lights in gunmetal. Any advantages/disadvantages around staying 18" or go 19"? I do like the race look of the 18s, but how wide a tread can you put on an 18" - can I get to 275r/245f or wider on them?

2. If I go 19", can anyone speak to how the 19 looks with a base brake package? Especially with an open design like the gram lights, I'm not sure the base brake package would look all that good and I would have to go to an aftermarket big brake kit. It's crossed my mind since I'm adding a CBE and probably an intake. But... has anybody tried to paint their base calipers red, and how does that look???
