I was thinking about putting 19s on the rear and 18s on the front. What do you all think?

I think you need to have the same size rim all the way around. If you have abs and tcs.

No you don't have to have the same size rim all the way around, the Vette has 18's in front and 19's in the rear. I would also recommend upgrading to larger brakes, would make it look better and improve stopping distances.

Personally I don't like mixed rim sizes. I'd stick with the same size all around.

I don't know, you may want to go ask the photoshop guys over in that section to make you something up. I think it would look alright.

This guy has two different sizes on his. I think looks pretty darn cool. I really like the wheels and tire combo. Here's the pic.

Hey,
On 2005RedGT's car, I'm assuming the overall diameter of tire is greater than factory wheels. Did he have to do anything different to keep speedo accurate? I didn't see anything about this on his garage site. :scratch:

Yeah I am interested about that too. Can you also give us some more info on the tires and rims. Where did he get them from. Did he have to adjust the supension a bit?

You can find out a lot of info about the car at his garage. Here's the link. They're will be other cars on there as well. Click on the last car. I believe it's 2005RedGT. It's a hot looking car. I like how he went with larger tires. Kind of gives it more of that muscle car look.

Not sure if the speedo uses the front or the rear to figure your speed, if it uses the front, I don't think he would have to recalibrate anything. I would imagine he would just flash using SCT.
