One problem I can see with this set up is the different overall diameter between the 2 tires, not unless you run a very fat tire in the front. Which kinda defeats the purpose of having a staggered diameter sizing.

Don't do it. Rock 19's with a wide width and lower offset, and it'll look perfect. you can't go as low on 20's.

John at VSC (the guy with teh original jp gs) was rocking 19" scaras. Looked perfect then, he's got the same stuff you do. It'll look fine with 20's i wouldn't go any bigger than that though.

Go with some crazy offset 19's....you'll be much happier. and you'd definitely be able to run a 35 series tire for a bit more cushion, as with a 20/21 you'd need at least a 30/25 profile which can get ugly...

With 21 inch wide tires you only have 3 choices available. 255/35/21 255/30/21 & 295/25/21 so if you went with a 10 wide in the rear you would have to run a stretched 255 to make it work. Unless you just go wider in the the rear to make it work. I have 21x11 with a 295/20/21 and its perfect, not to beefy looking and not stretched. By the way i don't think 19's front and 21's rear would look good. maybe do 19/20 or 20/21 or heck with it just go 21/21.

Well Being bagged helps too ...

Its a good Idea , Esp if you are fitting a 21x11 w. a 295/20/21

I should look at the 19/20 combo ... Just wondering if anyone had did this before ..

thanks guys
