Correct. Typically AWD vehicles have staggered wheels to compensate for the understeer characteristics that are assoicated with them. Yet, the OP isnt just changing wheel width, but radius size as well (19"), which will greatly affect the handling characteristics of the vehicle unless he reverts back to the original rolling diameter of the stock setup which is impossible with a 19" staggered setup. And a 2" different front-to-rear width is huge!
If the OP is merely looking for an aesethetic improvement, go for it. Be weary that your vehicle will handle differently and you will feel more vibration in the cabin/steering wheel. Otherwise go 19" but same width all around -- that is your safe bet.
And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE buy good tires. It's more important that you have good solid tires than expensive rims IMO!!!
