you don't have to lower your car if you get 19's or even 18's. Lowered is usual and customary on this site! Get the rims you like put em on and drive around for a month and then see if you need to lower any

I'm halfway convinced...
Will lowering the car void any part of the 4/50,000 or CPO warranty?
What is the cost I might be looking at for lowering it with decent shocks/springs (do not want coilovers)?
Do I need a camber correction kit? On my old hondas, the front tires were notorious for toe-ing in.

I say get the rims and worry about the drop later. I just ordered 19's and I'm not dropping mine.
If you get the proper size tires they should be the same height as the factory tires so I don't see what difference there would be, not like your will have any more wheel gap. Perhaps the optical illusion of more since you will have more rim then tire filling up your fender.
