Wheel size
Right now, i have 18 x 8 wheels and i want to upgrade to 19 x 8.5 or 19 x 9 ... Do you guys think it could be possible. Also, I am planning to sport spring on the car to lower it, so do you think i should upgrade my wheels or keep it at 18" ... I dont like how i have 18" wheels and there's a little gap of space so i want to hopefully close it up with sport springs ... Any suggestion .. Thanks!

I'd go one item at a time so you can evaluate the results with some clarity.
I have 15s, 17s and 18s on my different cars, and do not think I will trade the ride comfort to ride on 19s. (So I'd do suspension first)

lots of cars
19s are just for looks but they do fit with fender rolling. I had 19x9 lorinsers all around and they do fit but the freeway was brutal on those wheels. Just do 18x8 and 18x9 and lower the car and you'll be fine.
