Order wheels this weekend. Possibly 19 front/20 back staggered.

Guys,

I'm probably going to order some wheels this weekend. I'm looking at some Concept One wheels with a 19x8.5 front running 265/40/19 and 20x10 back running 285/35/20...or 19x10.5 running 285/35/19. Any objections to running this setup in regards to performance and comfort? I'm about to lose my mind. I can't decide on what I want. The 20s give me more tire choices, but I don't want to run them in the front so I can run a 40 series tire for comfort.

Here's my suspension setup:
Eibach Pro spring - rear sits about 28 5/8 high with stock 18s
Koni STR.T dampers
BMR Adjustable Panhard

The 19" set up will not look right. The rear sidewall is going to be smaller (.25") as well as stretched on the 10.5" wheel. A 255/40/19 in the front would be a closer match, but rear may still visually appear smaller do to the front bulging and rear stretching.

I see so I better stick to 255/40/19 on a 19x8.5 and 20x10 on 285 in the rear then. I just want everything to look flush. 19 tires are so hard to find I know should at least be running 295 in the rear, but they are expensive as heck. Any performance or balance issues with running 19s in the front and 20s in the back. I know GT500s run this all day.

No, I meant the 19" front and rear mentioned would not look right. I did not look into the 19/20 combo but that could be reference by the stock look of a SVTPP GT500.

That's what I've been using as a reference as well. The back looks like it sits almost too high!

If you run 19s all the way around, 255-40 and 285-35 or 295-35 should be your choices. As far as the 19 front, 20 rear you have the correct sizes.

I run 255/40r19 in the front and 295/35r20 in the back. Same sidewall height, so most people can't tell from more than like 5 feet away. 19x9.5 and 20x11's tires are square no bulge or stretch...
