just go staggered widths. its just not worth it to put a 19" up front and 20" rear. i think it looks a bit funny with the front wheel being smaller.

you would have to lower the front more than the back for it look right

wouldn't you want to lower the rear slightly more than the front to make up for the bigger wheel? Also, wouldn't it make it want to shift most of the weight to the front? I would think that it would stress the front suspension more if you lowered the front more than the rear with 19"F & 20"R.

I dunno...

I just went with 19s all the way around...

To each his own!

I am going to do that once I get my tax refund. If you have the correct tire size. Be sure to keep the overall dia. the same as stock and you should be fine. I could make it easy on you and give you the sizes, but the fun part is searching and learning the process.
