Default 19's front 20's rear

does anyone know if its "bad" or will look "bad" if i put 19 X 8.5 in the fronts and 20 X 10 in the rears?
i really want to break 10 in width in the rears but the 19's only hit 9.5 so i was thinking about offsetting the size
any opinions? pics?

corvettes and a lot of other cars do it, esp with the huge rear wheel gap it will look fine

u can get 17 18 and 19s in tens, however it depends on the wheels u like. i think 20s are a bit much. i like 19s at most. 17 front 18 back or 18 front 19 back. but if ur fixed on the wheel of ur choice then 20s it is lol. The only thing is itll slow u down. instead of a mid to high 13 sec car your looking at low 14s. look wise it should be pretty dam sexy

i agree completely. the largest i wanted was 19 i wasnt even considering 20's at all but the wheels i wanted, the EXE's (link above) dont come in 19 X 10. the largest is 19 X 9.5. Do you know if the 9.5 will cause the tire to stick out the side wheel well beyond the molding because thats the look i really want

It's not the 9.5" wheel that will determine how far it sticks out. It's the tire width.You need to review the specs for the tires you intend to put on those wheels.

I'll be putting 275/40/18's on 9.5" wheels on mine this weekend (from the stock 235/50/18's on 8.5" wheels). My new tires have a 10.9" section width on a 9.5" rim and 9.6" tread width. And as a side note, IF you have the TPMS you'll need to swap the sensors to the new wheelsand will need new bands and brackets. Joy...
