Stock rims 17" to 19"

Hi Guys,
This is my first post on here as I have been lurking and reading a lot on here since I purchased my G37 back in september.
My question to everyone is I want to get rid of my stock 17" rims and replace them with the stock 19" rims. I have a 2010 G37 journey sedan with stock suspension. I have no intentions to change the suspension.
The first question is will I be able to do this?
If so how is the car going to ride. I mainly drive this car on weekends and freeway trips. I like the soft ride it has now. I know it will change with a lower profile tire but how much?
I know there is the TPM to deal with and stagger. I have no idea what stagger is. Also will the cars MPH have to be reprogramed because of the lower profile tires.
Im pretty much set on the stock 19". I saw them a few days ago on a G37 and loved the way it looked.
have I missed anything else?
Thanks for your help.

Firstly use a tire size calulator like the one at miata.net and find the tires that will allow your car to either be spot=on or as close as possible for the speedometer. If yours is a journey it should have wheels in the rear that are about an inch wider, thats what is meant by 'staggered size'.

I"m not an expert but if you go from a wider sidewall 17" to a low profile 19" tire you will feel a LOT more of the road from what I understand.

i know there is the tpm to deal with and stagger. I have no idea what stagger is. when your rear rims are wider than the fronts also will the cars mph have to be reprogramed because of the lower profile tires. not unless the rim + tire dimension are way smaller than your current setup, which i doubt it will be
