Staggered Wheel question

Does anyone on this site have a staggered setup whereby the front and rear wheels are different diameter sizes? example, 18 fronts, 19 rears? Just wondering how that looks.

Stick with the same diameter. It is better for the VDC unless you plan on going with big sidewall up front and tiny in the rear.

the TRACK model of the 350z has staggered wheels..i think its 18up front and 19 rear.looks mean and aggressive..i know both chassis are similar but the g is longer. dunno if you could stagger them safley with the stock suspension and the VDC. be a good question for the dealer.

I've wondered this as well since other hi-performance cars come this way stock. I was thinking of a 19x10.5 in the rear and an 18x9 in the front. It would save some money by not needing to to buy 19" rims and tires up front. I haven't seen it done to a G though and there might be a good reason why.

I have seen a G with 19" front and 20" rear. You shouldn't have any problem with doing an 18 an 19 as long as you keep the overall diameter close to stock like a 255/40/18 front and 275 or 285/35/19 rear

How did it look to you? Off or as good as the aforementioned 350Z?
