Default Vette setup on a GS?

I have ordered some 18's for my car.
Would any of you consider the vette setup of 18's in teh front ant 19's in the rear?
Is it smart?
Drawbacks?
I live in michigan so I am very weary of getting 19's in fear of repairing them everyday.
Thanks
MIKE

not really sure why you would want to do this?

you need to ask Manaray this question, I think he would be able to answer this for you.

After driving in Detroit Roads...i'm not sure about 19s. I'm afraid of that here, so i doubt i'll ever have them in Detroit, i'm not sure if i would even try 18s. That's my thought.

Default Well....

The only reason I would want to try 19's inteh rear would be for a more aggressive look...that is all.

As far as detroit roads.....well....you gotta pick and choose....I gotta go atleast 18's......nothing smaller.
Thanks foryour thoughts.

I've thought about this before. I've talked to Manaray about going 18F 19R. It's very doable.

18/19 is doable but I prefer to do the same size all around...but that's just me...
