Stick with 18s or 19s front and rear.
IMO,a staggered side wall height looks better than a staggered wheel height, for example: 275/30/19s front and 275/35/19 rear, or 285/30/19s front and 285/35/19s rear. I run a staggered 18" setup; 275/35/18s front and 275/40/18s rear (check photo albums).

I was thinking of getting the 19's when i was ordering my CCW 505a's but got a qoute on tires LOL I changed my mind real quick and got the 18's instead Im happy as **** with the ride and look. Your ride has to be alittle lowered IMO for any rim/tire combo to look good .
Heres some pics with my 18's on for you. I know... I know... the tires need some love and black magic before you guys say anything LOL

Im running the Nitto 555R 305/35 R18's DR's in the rear and was told by CCW that these are the widest tire you can put on a F body without really hammering in the inner wheel wells. Mine fit perfect and i didnt have to hammer ****. Some do, Some dont. If you do,,, it wouldnt be much at all from what others have told me. But from the back of my ride .....They look freaking wide as **** and is what i needed for my forged 6.0 TT setup. I bought these mounted from CCW last winter. Its actually cheaper for them to ship the rims with tires at no extra cost and tires are at cost too

I also think alot of that hammering thing is because guys that lower there cars ,dont install an adjustable rear stab bar to recenter there rears after they lower

Thanks . Your Viper makes me wanna sell the F-body . I figured I would throw up an ad for the hell of it and see what happens. My reasoning for a Viper is because I was looking to do road racing events.

Ok I am going with the 18's all around due to the price jump and increased tire selection. What tire size are you guys running with your 18's & your DR Tires?

Depends on the width of the rim. The most typically and recommend is 295/35/18 for 10.5" wide and 275/35/18 for 9.5" wide.
