Ok guys, please allow me to retract my less than professional comment. Some people have managed to do this without issues. My comment was related to the AH/TC problems that can and do result with the tire diameters not proper in respect to the PCM/TC system programming. I apologize if I offended anyone.
Nice recovery man... You really jumped into the chit pool with that first comment.
I've got 18's all the way around. I wanted to keep as much sidewall as possible for ride quality and still be able to get a good size rear. I think it worked out well for me the last five years.

Yup ! Its ALL in the tire size you choose... rim size has NOTHING to do with the required stagger you need !
I'm running 19/19 and have no issues because I did my homework and determined the correct tire size to put on them to give me the stagger I needed to ensure I did not have Active handling, or Traction control issues. 275/30/19, and 305/30/19.

I'm sorry... I just find this hilarious ! Just messing with you of course...
Check out my post on properly sizing your tires when buying new wheels.
Yeah, it was one of my less than smart replies. I'm not perfect and I got paid back as deserved this time. I'll try to be more respectful in the future.

Not to belabor your faux pas, but in this case it's not a matter of respect, but a matter of fact.
