19's in front and 20's in back
I am thinking of getting some 19's in the front and some 20's in the back. I am just wondering how many people have done this and if so does it look good and does the car still drive ok? some pic's would be nice. Thanks

This is popular with the nsx crowd. I think it looks great.

providing you utilize the correct tires size, they will have the same diameter as the sock ones.

It might look pretty cool. I love the forward raked look especially on sedans. Only problem is that if it didn't look so hot it would be hard to unload (2) 19" or 20" wheels lol

To keep OEM wheel diameters (or close to it), you'd have to run a setup where there is more sidewall on the 19s than on the 20s. Personally, I don't think that will look right.

Would it be better to run 18's in front and 19's in back?
