u can, but why would u want to?
u need a bigger sidewall on the front to make up for the difference in the rim diameter.
what kinda car is it?
unless u have an old benz there is no reason it cant take 19's all around

I have a W208 the reason I want to go 18" in front is the stupid pole hole around my area, I know that 19" will easly get bented

if the front will bend if u run 19's then y wont the rear? it doesnt make any sense, the sidewall would be the same on front and rear if u ran 19's

y cant u just drive around the pothole or take a different route?

depends on the weather
18's front and 19's rear would cause MASSIVE understeer
