Same question was asked earlier. Do a search. I have this set up. No big deal really except you can't rotate your tires. Next time I will just go 18x9.5 front and 18x10.5 rear due to the side wall. Still couldn't rotate them but at least the sidewalls would match. I love how the 10.5's look out back. As far as positives, It depends on performance over looks. What you want to do with the car should be a big part of what size wheels you get. Mine is bone stock and is only good for picking up chicks.

I have 18's all around and love them, would do the same if i where to do it over. I've never seen a staggered setup in person, but i think it looks good also, can't really go wrong with eaither.

i have Z06 17's in front and 18X10.5 in back, the 10.5 in the rear looks really good, you can't tell a big difference in the sidewalls between the 17's 275/40 and the 18's 305/35. only downfall is if you run drag radials on the rear, they are kind of expensive.
