19" rear wheels??

Ok, so I have been looking at a set of rims for a while and now the company has discontinued them in an 18x9.5 for the rear. They do offer a 19x10 but I am not sure what ill effect, if any, running a front 18x8.5 and a rear 19x10 would have. I do understand the obvious wieght increase and I may go another direction just based on that but what else could this do. Would it be better to just run a 19x8.5F and 19x10R?? Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks

Are you running aftermarket suspension?

Yes, I will be installing my stance coilovers soon with new toe link/ trailing arms. I am not worried about rolling fenders, that will have to be done regardless.

There will be no issues with running an 18" in the front and 19" in the rear. The main issue is that you won't have much sidewall with the 19" (and you'll have more sidewall up front than in the rear so it may look a little off). There have been a few cars on here running a 17" in the front and 18" in the rear.

I would just find a rim where you can run the same diameter front and back. But that's just my opinion.

Thanks Mahjik, I this that is what I had really decided to do is just continue the search for some 18's that I really like and that are not on 500 other cars....

Depending on tire sizes (also brand) and a front fender roll, yes.
