20x8.5 - 20x10 too oddball?

Any time you change up and run different tire sizes front and rear it will always effect handling. My cars run a 9" up front and a 10" on the rear and my other car runs a 4.5" up front and a 12" on the rear.

With a 20x8.5 wheel you're gonna want a 255/35/20 front tire.
For the rears you can run anything from a 275/35/20, 285/30/20, 285/35/20 or even a 295/35/20 or what i run, 305/35/20 but that will bubble out a bit and depending on the wheel offset you might rub

What if I went 19x8.5 - 19x10 staggered..... My main concern is the sidewalls looking even and no running in front. I've thought about going 19's squared up but I dunno how a 10" wide tire up front would rub.

I had 19x10's on the front of my car last year, the AMR wheels from American Muscle, with 48mm offset I believe. Tires were 275/40/19.
Perfect fitment, lots of room front and back, no rubbing.

None that I noticed.
The 275/40/19 tire fit perfectly on there, perfect square, just the tiniest of stretch, perfect for a front fitment, and certainly more than fine for rear.
This was the 19x10 front wheel set-up with that tire size on my car:

I dunno if I wanna lower it and do it right first, or get wheels/tires. Right now I'm stock bullitt style 17's with uniroyal tigerpaws and they're brand new.
When I lower it I'll likely get the SR springs, GT500 mounts or c&c plates and Koni shocks/struts. But that's gonna be a big pay day for American muscle and I'm hesitant to shell out that much cash right now.

I went with 20" staggered and the price from AM was great, take a look. I can't decide whether to paint the front calipers red or the rear ones black. So far no issues with steering or handling but a great improvement in traction and cornering.
