Default 18 or 19 inch front C6 Z06 wheel?

I have a C6 Z06 with a supervette widebody kit which adds approximately 3 inches of total width to the car. Which forgestars would work for this application? I want to stick with a 19 inch rear. What are the pros and cons of going with a 19 inch front as well? Is the staggered wheel size primarily aesthetic, or does it help the handling? Thanks

Smaller wheels are lighter, make your brakes look better, and tires are cheaper. The only reason to run a larger wheel is to clear larger brakes imo.
