Gonna run 19"/20" S5:F, tire size?

So when I get my new credit card in a few weeks, I'm gonna by some Five Axis S5:Fs. And then I got to thinking while looking at other sexy concave wheels on an NSX forum, why don't I run 19x9.5 or 9.5 in front, and 20x10.5 in the rear? I did some searching, and there's really no problems. My question is, will my tires work? They're 35 series sidewalls... do I need to get 30s for the rear so my VDC doesn't go nuts? Or does the VDC eventually get used to it eventually? I want there to be a good distinction between the bigger rear and smaller front, and I'm afraid the 30s in the rear will make them look the same height. If there's no way around this, I'm just gonna get 19s.

Basically the rule you need to keep in mind is that you need to keep your OD (overall diameter) within 3% +/- of your stock OD. If you can manage to do that, not matter what size wheels/tires your running, your VDC will be ok.

I am running that wheel in 20x9.5 and 20x10.5 & I love my current setup.

Great wheel, but a little on the heavy side.

Look for a tire size calculator online.

How concave is your rear? Could you take a head on pic at a slight angle for me? I want that widest one in the rear. And thanks for the advice, I'll do that after I come home from work

I'm probably gonna run 245/35-19 up front and 265/30-20 in the rear. They're both just under and just over 2%, so that should be good for my VDC
