Question 19" front - 20" rear !!!

hi,
so i was wondering if anybody is running 19 - 8.5 in the front and 20 - 10.5 in the back??? or even anything close to this???
as much as 19 front and 20 in the back!!! i was thinking about doing it... but then i havent seen it on any car in this forum and ive only seen it on mustangs and stuff.... however if someone does have that setup.. please post your picture...

THANK YOU

I've seen some on nsx's, 18 front and 19 rear... If I would go that route I probably go with the same size so your car can still be slam, 20's are too big IMO.

you would have to have coil overs and play with tire sizes to make it right. it can be done but i dont see why do this anyways

There's actually a red 250 with Vossen 19/20's on it Floating around here somewhere. Doesn't look bad, but I prefer the same diameter wheels front and rear. Hell we put the same diameters on cars that CAME staggered (like Corvette's and Vipers). Its just a more cohesive look, IMO.
