19" Front / 20" Rear???

I am having a hard time deciding on what kind of wheels i want chrome/color matched/black.....

But I think im going to go with 19" in the front and 20" in the rear....What do you guys think? This way it willl have a nice staggered look

Sorry to burst your bubble my friend but put 19"s on the front and 20"s rear is not going to give you a staggered look. First off staggered rims is having the rears wider then the front. Not bigger diamiter. And to be honest you cant tell the difference of the diamiters on the corvettes and i dont think this car is any different. If you want staggered then you need wider rears. the oem sport already comes staggered...

I think maybe he meant "raked" instead of staggered? If you want raked, drop the front.

well if he put the correct tires for each repective rim then it still would not be raked either. Unless he went larger rear tire or smaller front tire side wall wise..

I did 20's front with 21's rear. Running a 35 front witha 25 rear. Its not bad at all. I almost wish i ran 25's all around so you could tell the size difference b/c the rims are larger in back but they both sit at the same height as teh stocks.

Do 20's all around bro, trust me. 20's are perfect size for this car. 19's are going to be to small, imo.

go big or go home is my motto, lol, so you know where i stand.

Also, you can do 20x10.5 with a nice streched tire, fire.

i ordered 20x8.5 & 20x10
and went with falken fk452 245/35/20 and 275/30/20. if your offsets aren't really aggressive, i'd go with a 285 in the back

if you want a really aggressive drop 20"s are not the way to go. Personally i am sticking with 19"s because i am low and plan on keeping it that way

thats a 35 not a 37, you cant put as low an offset of a 37 as you could with the 35.. so your already at a disadvantage...
