Default 19's in the rear too big?

I was wondering if i could get away with putting 19's in the back and some 18's up in front for more of an aggressive look?


Opinions would be appreciated!

Do it, you'd be the first. Here's an inactive member with 19's front and back on 215/35/19 rubber. Nice bit of stretch but not too crazy.
