Default Staggered height wheels - 18/19?

I don't think I've seen anyone here do staggered height wheels. Any opinion on how this would look on the SC?

I've seen it done on an SC with a 17/18 stagger. I wanted to go that route, but it was hard to find a set of wheels like that. I think it looks awesome.

Someone posted a picture of an SC once with a 21/22 stagger it looks pretty good.

I've been thikning of 17/18. Has anyone done that?

You can find lots of NSX's with staggered diameter so if you find a set w/ nice offsets, that'd be the place to look (nsxprime)

I think it turned out looking great, but it all depends on what kind of look your going for.

It all depends on the stance you're trying to get.

I've thought about going with the 18/19 set up just because the rear wheel wells look sooo much smaller in height compared to the front. So it gives an illusion the rear rims is smaller than the front. However, it's all about your stance. I stuck with 18's all around because of the low front and semi low rear to give it an angle stance. However, if you're pretty level or even at a small angle, the 18/19 will offset the illusion as well.

By the way...the picture down below is outdated. The stance I was talking about I'm still working on since I got new wheels.
