Default 18"x8.5 front 19"x 9.5 rear Volk GT-C wheels

I'm thinking switching my track ray's with Volk GT-C wheels. Do you any of you know if it is a good idea to go with 18 x 8.5 in the front, and 19 x 9.5 in the rear?

I would stay with the same diamete front and rear. it will look better imho.

and weight distribution would be what the factory intended.

No problem going with 18s in front and 19s in the back. Other performance cars do just that. IE. the Vette. If you go this route, use 245/40/18 in front and 275/35/19 in back. The sidewall height of the tires will be just about the same (front & rear), and the overall height of the tire & wheel combination will be just about the same as stock. IMO, this is a much better idea than 19s all the way around, because you have more tire in the front to protect you from road hazards. I've thought about doing this, but have decided to stay with 18s all around. Good Luck.

Do you think I should stick with 18s all around? I'm afraid that the brembos would look too small, and that performance will be compromised with 19 inch GTCs. 18 inch GTCs should still look still look great, and better than stock Ray's right?
