18 front 19 rear?

Anyone tried this setup of 18's in front and 19's in the rear?

IMHO, don't think it would look that good. If you'd wanna try a larger rear size, 19" front and 20" rear would probably look better.

You can always be the first to try!

High end super cars mostly use it. Ferraris, lamborghini. You'll see that on those types of autos, and funny cars.

do you drive a slow fucking car? yes. got something constructive to say then say it, but if you're going to give me absolutely no good information then GTFO. I didn't ask if it would look good, only if it had been done.

on topic, i might actually do this, it's not like im the first to consider it. i personally think the front wheel from some angles looks like it could be larger than the rear, and i don't like that.

i think the only thing that might look hugely different is the tire profiles being affected by the different sizes.

also a bit worried aobut the tpm sensors and overall affeects, it might not be worth it.

Go for it and run a slight rake, personally i love that look of a bigger rear wheel etc but i def would do a 19-20 setup, i think 18s just are a bit small for our cars but thats just my opinion. Roll your fenders in the rear and youll be good
