Most common is as above 235.35.R19 and will give you the closest rolling distance as the 18's - so not to knock the speedo out too much.

I was thinking abit more narrow tyres so it pulls the side wall in slightly for that (stretched) look!

you can do that, but you will be sacrificing ride comfort and grip.

youll be loosing 80mm contact with the road, and the side wall will go from 82mm (pretty slim already) to 75mm
