Default 19's?

Im wondering what are the major drawbacks to 19's on an fbody? I always thought 18s would be as big as id go but a guy is giving me a real good deal on some HRE Wheels and they look siiick. And also if anyone has pics of 19's on a firebird or just on any fobody thatd be cool. Thanks!
