As nice as 19" wheels look on a car this size I think I am going to have to stick with 18's. Our roads are pretty beat up in many areas as well and I am surprised I haven't had issues with my 18's yet with so many jarring hits.

The tire sizes you are talking about switching to are the the M5 stock tire sizes which are known to rub in the front on a non M model. The rear will be fine.
