17's front, 20's back

Anyone running 17's on the front and 20's on the back? If so how does it look and ride? Thanks

I assume you are referring to my car

I bought my car with 18/20 Z06 wheels. The sidewall on the fronts are so much taller than the rears, It looks weird. I'm looking to replace the fronts or rears with 19". I am sure 17/20 would be a lot worse. These aren't great pics, but should show you what I am talking about. BTW, I may be selling the 20s if I can find 19x10.5 or 11 Z06 rims.

Not at all. I was just playing. No worries. I was

out of embarassment of my odd tire set-up.

I too would imagine that it would look way off and you might have a problem getting to the proper stagger front to rear. I've not heard of anyone going 17/20 on their car.
