The stock V6 17s are +40mm. The 18s and 19s are higher offset. Usually +42-44mm depending on wheel style.
Example: 19x9.5 RTR wheels are +33mm.
Point is. You will be fine either way.

Yes they will bolt on and clear. However, they won't be flush with the fender. It depends on your preference. I personally like tires that stick out a bit.

With that set up, your wheels will pretty much look stock GT in size. The only difference will be the design of the rim itself.
Have you considered going wider? I run 18x9 in front and 18x10s in the back. I too have a base V6. I personally think wider tires look better. However, they cost more.

I think you need a new keyboard to go with those wheels and tires... your caps lock seems to be broken/stuck. Here's a nice combo:

ALL CAPS MEANS YOU ARE SHOUTING AND MY EARS RING PLENTY ALREADY.
Patrick has you covered on the wheel/tire thing.
/kiddin', but for a purpose.
