19 inch under original fenders.?

I saw a set of 17 in rims with 145s on them at a show. They looked sharp, but any taller and you may run out of room for rubber or much of it anyway. The ride really decreases as the rubber gets shorter. I would think the handling would decrease to as you would have to keep them fairly hard to keep the rims from hitting the ground on a big bump. A 19 in rim with 25 inch tires would probably fit nicely and still give you the best of both worlds with about 3 inches of sidewall height. A seven inch rim with an eight inch wide tire should fit if you don't lower it much and have it offset properly. Just my observation.
