Thank you all for your responses. Updating this thread for anyone thinking of going this route. Went ahead with the 19inch wheels and Eibach lowering springs.
Car feels more nimble with 19inch forged wheels. Rides great and feels a bit more planted.
as far as issues, definitely have to take some speed bumps and driveway at an angle, other than that pretty happy with the results.
Specs:
19inch Apex VS-5RS in ZLE Specs
Eibach Lowering Springs
Posted these pics in another thread as well.
