if you go with the 19's, make sure and get the 7.5's so you don't rub. you might still need to roll the fenders, though.

I've now ran 18" and 19" on this car. I don't recommend running 19". They look awesome for show but they aren't so hot on the go. Rough ride. If you like to drive your car hard 18. If you want it pretty 19. Also what probeguy said about rough roads.

18s. While you can fit 19s, they are really more for show and will likely hurt performance (do you really want to do that to a MS6?).
