Default Wheel Question

In the process of putting a 2016 together for ordering, I noticed that if you order magnetic selective ride control, then 19" front and 20" rear wheels are required. If you order the other way, i.e. ordering the 19" and 20" wheels you are required to have the mag ride control. What would happen if you put 19" and 20" wheels on a non-mag ride car? Are there any negative consequences to this?

I just ordered the Z51 package without the mag ride due to the lousy history of the mag ride over the years. I realize that I'll have a firmer ride but that is what I'm seeking.

I should have specified in my original post that it would be a non-Z 51 car. There does not appear to be any way to order it with the 19" and 20" wheels. I was wondering what would happen if you put the 19" and 20" wheels on anyhow. I was told at one dealer that that was the way they had ordered their non Z 51 cars.

Can't imagine any issue if you are thinking aftermarket wheels - just make sure the offsets are correct.

BTW - Z51 is 19 and 20

I have a non-Z51 2015 Stingray base with 19 & 20" wheels. I have no
problem with the ride. In 2015 the 19 x20" Z51 wheels & tires were part of the ZF1 pkg w/ No magnetic ride.
