Also if you increase the diameter by 1", you'll only raise the car by .5". So I think maybe your intial statement of lowering(raising) 1.19" in the front and 1.30" in the back is maybe actually double what will happen?
While it might actually raise the bottom of the car, it will reduce the visible gap in the wheelwell. If you further lower the car you might need to worry about the tires rubbing when the suspension compresses, especially if the wheels/tires are wider and stick out a little further?
At least I think I'm thinking that through right? What size are the wheels and what size tires are you putting on them?

You are thinking it through correctly. If I go with my most recent plan, I'll use 19X10 wheels with 285/35-19 tires on the front and 19X12 wheels with 345/30-19 tires on the back. The front diameter will be 1.19" larger; the back will be 1.30" larger. The larger diameter will raise the car and close the gap between the top of the tire and the inside of the fender. I don't want to raise the center of gravity of the car so if I go with this plan I would lower the car approximately .5"
