If I were to get 19" wheels for my SHO, that wheel width, offset, and tire size should I look into?
Thinking of retiring the 17s.

Because the shock tower is set at an angle, you are going to start getting really close to it with 19 inch rims, since they are not only taller, but going to be about 9 inches wide. I am not sure you can cure this by playing with the offset without running into the edge of the wheel well unless you stick to pretty narrow tires, which somewhat defeats part of the purpose of going to the bigger rim. I think there is an offset/size chart on V8SHO.com somewhere. You might want to see if you can find it.

Has anyone gone to 19 inch so they can provide advice?

Wuzzer, I don't think I'd go any larger than 18. What is wrong with your current set up? I think it looks good. If I were you, I'd look at finding Cobra rims for your car. That would look even sweeter. I am looking for a set for my G-I.

Rollin on Dubs minus one??

You going to sell your 17s? I might be interested.
