New to Camaro, new to sizing

Hey all, just picked up my first Camaro. Found a left over 1LT in Riverside Blue with the 1LE package on it.

It comes with the 20 inch wheels wrapped in super sticky summer tires. I live here in Jersey City, NJ where the roads resemble the surface of the moon, rather than pavement. Potholes, debris, and just overall poor surface.

I was thinking of downsizing to 19's and bumping the sidewalls up 5mm to a new size of 245/45/19 and 275/40/19. Would that work fine with the front brakes? Also, how the hell do I figure out what offset that would work with the suspension and brakes on the 1LE?

If you are interested in a set of 20 1LE wheels and tires, let me know! I may also just go the easier route and switch tires to a non-runflat all season tire that may give me a bit more compliance and all season driveability.

Let me know your thoughts and I am very excited to join the Camaro family...loving the car so far...it's a hoot!
