GT500 rims on a GT
I like the 2013/2014 Gt500 svtpp mesh wheels. Why are they 19"s up front and 20 in the back?
Will this cause any detrimental handling to my GT as it was not set up for staggered sizing?

Your GT will like it just fine. There's just a smidge difference in the diameters, slightly bigger in the back, but the car won't mind the staggering at all. It's half an inch bigger in the back.
Just be sure to get the right size tires like comes with the GT500: 265/40-19s in the front, and 285/35-20s in the back, and you're good to go.
Speedo might read different. You can go here and plug in your before and after tire sizes and see what the backs will do to the speedo: http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp
*Potentially*, you might need to get steering stops to prevent rubbing up front, but that'd be about it.
