I'd go with something around a 1.25"-1.5" drop. Maybe the Tein H-techs, or Tanabe NF210's

I had 19's with the tanabe df210 and only had rub issues with full wheel lock.

I stick with my recommendation for DF210s. My wife's xB is on 215/35/18s and I can just about fit two fingers between the top of the tire and the fender. With the right offset on the 19s (which I assume you have since you were bagged) you shouldn't have issues. And in the off chance that you did ever rub it would likely be in the most extreme conditions.
