I saw a 2gs with 20's in front and 22's in the rear. Looked pretty cool to me.

one case that i can recall with raked setup, 20 front and 21 rear. although it's not 19 front and 20 rear, i think it can give you some insight. i think this is one case "done right" already, where the rear is dropped a lot to achieve the right look. would i rock it though? no

same here, only a few 3gs here impress me, and that's one of them. but the different diameter wheels setup front and rear, that didn't appeal to me

No matter what car, the front HAS to be lower than the rear! thats the only way it looks good to me!! Not MUCH lower.. but the front should be a good 1/2 inch to 2/3 inch lower than the rear.
