19" front wheel for XTX

I have a cracking XT660X thats already done one trip to Italy with me so i dont want to get rid of it. I want a little more off road ability and want to be able to run off road tyres. I dont need a 21" front wheel but the standard 17" is to road biased so a 19" is a nice compromise. I understand the suspension issuse and can soften them myself. Whats the best way to get a 19" on the front? My thought was to have the existing front hub re-laced with a 19" rim so there wouldnt be any hub or brake problems. Any ideas where i can get a 19" rim and a wheel rebuild? Im based in Cardiff but happy to ship it someplace int he UK.

Cheers

Dan
