Going to 19's will help the look, but will always be heavier than the 18" version of the same wheel, and thus won't help the performance at all. Tire selection also gets much slimmer. Are you sure you want to do that?

I am new to this but from what I understand (and I might be wrong) the 19" preform better because the tire sidewalls are smaller so they will be stiffer which will lead for better handling and breaking.

I was thinking about buying lightweight forged wheels to compensate for the added weight. If I'm trying to fit 245/265 should I be looking at specific wheels?
