Well, if you are running a staggered setup, you have to run smaller series in the rear in order to keep the diameter AND the sidewall height close. If you run 19s front and 20s rear AND if you plan to have similar to OEM diameters, the sidewalls will look very different. More than likely it would be a 35/25 combo, which I don't think would look right.
Some cars are built to have larger wheels in the back but they come OEM with larger total diameter in the rear. Unfortunately, our cars are not built that way.

I saw a w215 CL with 19s in the front 20s on the rear and it looked amazing.

Personal choice, I suppose. The CL owner chose between different sidewall heights (not aesthetically pleasing to me) or different diameters (possible safety issues). Neither option is good for me. I am happy with my staggered 20s. Originally Posted by nelson09

Let's just say I was a lil more performance oriented then and these wheels weren't as light as their Porsche versions. Originally Posted by tgoss

Sold them pretty darn quick and bought something a lil more performance oriented (CCW). Then I was somewhat happy with where I was with my track time so I sold these and bought the LM's. It also helps that I got a deal I couldn't refuse on them. Now I am lookin for another set of 18's for when I start takin the car to the track again.

Yer HRE's do look solid my friend!

i think 19's are perfect.. look the best and perform... but the tires are harder to find.... and you will need those.
