Default 19/20 Wheel combo

Anyone have pics of a GS with 19" fronts and 20" rear? Just curious as to what it might look like.

Ahem ... If bagged ... This Is Not to muscle like ... It fits the rear better IMO the 19s in the front are perfect .. the rear needs a huge wheel .. IMO

F'n sweet. I guess I'll give it a go and see how I like it once I decide on rims. In my humble opinion, I just don't think a 20" looks right on the front of a GS for some reason.
