Default Larger rims in back than in front?

Not saying I want to do this, but I really liek the 5Zigen Gravis... only staggered fitment they'd have would be 19's in the back, 18's in the front.

not saying I actually wanna go this route but i just wanna see what'd look like

Not the sizes you're looking for, but at least you'll have an idea. OEM NSX wheels (16/17"):

doesn't look too bad... but wondering if the larger 18/19 combo would be like overkill

19" is too big for the s2k. even w/ 18"s I had to get 285/30 to maintain the proper tire OD. that's like 2.5" of sidewall!

is it like a preference type thing? or is it seriously just asking for trouble?

reason i'm askign is beacuse i've seen others on the froum with 19's -- but never anything about thier exepriences with it.

too big, too heavy, too little tire sidewall. I'd stick w/17 if you actually drive the car, maybe 18 if its a garage queen.
