My question is how much meat can I put on my tires if I get 19's again, and how much meat for 18's..... this is where I am thinking that this might be a better bet to help me deal with the pot holes that will pop up from time to time.....and when say meat I mean the width from the tire to the rim as I drive down the road. Thanks for the Advice.

you want to try to keep the same diameter as the stock tires which is 26.3". You can go alittle taller, but not taller then 27". I currently have 245/40/19 which are 26.7" that's a sidewall height of 3.9".
Use the tire calculator to get tire diameters
