thank you... keep them coming.... I figured the backs need more meet and the front need more room for brakes ect ... I see people run 17 up front and 15 on the back kind of the same idea.... more thoughts

19's are too big for these cars. They stand out like a sore thumb. And tire options suck in 19's.

Keep the same sized wheels all around. If you want some stagger, do narrower wheels in the front, wider in the rear. I don't know how anyone would think a 19" wheel in the front and an 18" wheel in the rear would look good. What is wrong with people these days?

Bigger in front smaller in the back.... I see those all the time 17and 15 or 16 even for the irs guys.. And I plan on running wider ones in the back regardless of hight picked out... Just wanted to try something different... As far as the rake there shouldn't be one if the over all diameter is the same... Thanks for the input guess I'm the only one who thought it would be cool

On slicks 'n skinnies, the larger front rim looks fine but when the wheels are relatively the same width I just think it looks odd.

negative ghost rider. 19 is too big. On slicks and skinnies it looks ok because of the tall sidewall/tire. 19/18 combo not so much. Just my opinion though. Different strokes for different folks.
