Default Staggered Rim Diameters?

Hey, I've been looking for some wheels for my SC300 and found what seems like a good deal on some close outs. Only problem is that the sizes left would mean I would be running 18x9 +37 in front and 19x9.5 +44 in back. What's the thought on this? Stupid? Ok? Need spacers in back to not be sunk?

Is anyone running different rim diameters? I know that it's common on some rwd performance cars, just never seen it on an SC. Thanks!

Do it! Id like to see it. Ive noticed on my car that 18s in the back looks a bit small.

I am going to be running an 18/19 stagger or a 19/20 stagger next year. The hole idea of stagger is more of a fitment thing. 18's look small on our cars but they allow for more room at full lock when turning up front. 19's fill the wheel wells nicer and i feel like 20"s fill the rear wheel arch perfectly.

oh and 19x9.5 +44 will be pretty sunk 19x9.5 +15 if perfectly flush with the fender to where the lip of the wheel would contact the fender if you have a low enough car

I will be running 18/19 or 19/20 combo. Should be all good aslong as the profile is low and the overall rolling diameter is that same as stock. probably a 30 or 35 profile on the frotn and a 30 on the rear.

Thanks for all the help. I went ahead and ordered them so I'll find out first hand how this fitment works. I realize the +44 offset on the 19x9.5 rears will be a little sunk but at $99/wheel I can always use spacers back there:-)

What's the opinion on the +37 offset for the front 18x9's?
