I say 18 x 9.5 all the way around... unless you can get it wider out back.. I just don't know about the 19 staggered with 18's.. If it were and 18/17 combo then maybe..

Ive got 19's in the back and 18's in the front. I like them, it handles well but I am going to go with 18's all the way around. I noticed quite a difference in speed going from the 16" snowflakes to 19x10 c6 rims.

18\9.5 won't fit on the front of a fbody. Due to the breaks... I just ordered mine 18/8.5 fronts & 18/9.5 back in hyper black can't wait till they arrive ;-)

Not the case, remember it is all about offsets. The 18x9.5 will fit with a 35mm offset, but it WILL NOT FIT with the 45mm offset due to the spokes hitting the brake calipers. A 19x9.5 with a 45mm offset will work on the fronts though since the spokes have a longer pitch and clear the caliper.

What did you notice about speeds with the 19's? I have quite a bit of hp. Will it get scary up top?
