You can run the Akebono's even with the 18's. Also they get the Yokohama Advan tires instead of the RE050's.

With wide sticky tires on the 19's you have a pretty insane amount of corner grip but it does come at the price of increased road noise, tramlining, etc. In the end though the grip is addictive. Just don't try Summer tires now that it is below 50 degrees most days.
