I'm on the fence about keeping this wheel/tire set or moving to a set of 19"s or maybe a set of 20" replicas. I don't hate the 18" but I find the ride kind of plush and some body roll when turning.
What will be the performance/ride quality gain or change in this case?
Should I go with 19"s or 20"s.
Many Thanks,

The biggest improvement will be looks. Body roll will not change.
Go with what you like. There will be more road feel the thinner the sidewall and possibly a slightly harsher ride. Not much with a std suspension, IMO. Turn in will feel a little more crisp, as you won't have the taller sidewall moving around.
If you want handling to change dramatically, the suspension will need modified.
