Default WS6 Staggered wheel setep! 17/19

Have a question on some wheels and tires and see if this setup I want to put on my car will work

current: 17X9.5 DD c6 z06 front 18X10.5" Rear

now I LOVE the look of the staggered wheels and the lip on the rear

I want to switch and try a 17X9.5 in the front on 275/40/17 Tire

now the Back im currently running a 315/30/18" rear tire


the question:

Can I switch from the 18X10.5" REAR

to a 19X10 Rear with 305/35/19 Nitto NT05R

Will the tire size and 17"/19" combo work well?

anyone have pictures of a 18/20" setup or a 17/19" Setup?

trying to be different... thanks!

I have 17/18. Not much of a difference and the loss in rim height is compensated by the difference in tire profile to make it look the same ride height. Wish I went 18s all around lol.

I have 18" now, but the Drag radials are just outrageous on price. so i figured id go bigger rim, which i think would look good, and the Tires are $100 less a piece.

I'm pretty sure you'll get the ABS INOP, Brake, and TCS lights to come up on your dash.

I have no traction control, and cant the other codes just be cleared?

imo a 18/19 setup would look better than a 17/19 or 18/20. personally i wouldnt go any bigger than a 19" rim on a 4th gen

Keep in mind tire prices for 19's...they are an "odd" size.

I would stick with 17's or 18's.

It's not that simple. ABS would not function properly. You could pull the ABS fuse, but that would enable ABS obviously.

I would go with an 18-19 setup! 17's will look too small. IMO
