Default 19's on a fbody? (opinions please)

I am thinking about putting 19's all the way around with a 19x13 and 355/25/19 on the rear. I just cant decide if the 19's will look to big. I will be going back with Iforged 3pc wheels. I f not iam giong to keep my front wheels and put 18x12 with a 335/30/18 tire. Opinions will be helpful, thanks

Too big for an f-body, not that they won't fit, but to me they don't look right... I think for f-bodies sizes stop a 18 inch rims..... just my two cents...

they can look awsome. check out the 2002 Camaro SS 35th Anniversary Limited Edition picture on tony's website. little over half way down. 19 inch hp evo's

i dont think 19x13 will come close to fitting though without some pounding and tubbing.

19's look great all the way around! props for going big and doing something ouside the "norm". think about all the super cars in the world that come with 18/19 combos or 19/20 combos or 19's all the way around. if Porsche, Lamborghini, and Ferrari can do it, so can muscle/sports cars like Camaro, Corvette, and as much as it pains me to say even Ford.

personally i'd like to see 19/20 combo just because the wheel wells are so big. then you lower a good 2-3". SWEET!

looks great but buy an extra tire when you buy, takes wayyyyyyyy too long to get another one in if you pick up a nail in the sidewall or something

19's look great on F-Bodies, if it's the right wheel. AlexWS6's old car:
