Opinions on running a staggered 18" & 19" setup?

Just wondered what people thought of running a staggered wheel setup with 18's on the front and 19's on the rear. I am considering LMGT4's. The 18's just look too small on the back. I have noticed that this is a "problem" with our cars...the rear wheel looks smaller than the front wheel because the sidewall is taller. Some cars (corvette, etc) have had staggered 17" and 18" setups from the factory. I think it would look really nice, because even though the 19's look big enough, the rears still look smaller. It would help to even out the sidewall height. Any potential VDC problems if the overall diameter is the same as stock? Anyone with pics of something like this?

I'm running 18x8.5/9.5 and I also feel the rears look kinda small, while the fronts look good. I see no potential problems of running a 18/19 combo if you stick to 245/4018 in the front and 275/35/19 in the rear. This is an almost exact diameter match to stock and will not affect VDC. I know a couple 350z's running this combo. You can't rotate rear to front tires anyway, so go for it and post pics.

Any pics of a Z, or even better, a G, with this setup? Putting 3 G's into wheels, I'd like to know what it looks like. I think I might actually like it better than 19's all around. Any expert Photoshoppers around that can put LMGT4's onto a Twilight Blue G?

Go to my350z.com and search. Here is a 19/20" staggered setup on a Z, but it will give you an idea of how unnoticeable the stagger is...
