But... but... You know that's backwards from how it's supposed to be, right?? Should be 19s rear and 18s front. If you insist on running 18s rear, you should at least match that up front. 18s in the rear and 19s up front is going to look terrible.

I have a 15/17 setup on my Camaro and I think it looks great.

Different strokes, I suppose. I think that sounds awful (and how do you even fit 15s on a camaro??), but it's your money. If you like it, keep on keepin on

Running a bigger front is nothing new. Neither is running a 15/17 combo on a 4th gen Camaro. You can barely tell there is a 20 on the rear and 19 on the front stock so why would a 18 on the back stand out if the tire is sized right? The pic I posted has a 18 on the rear and 19 on the front. Looks fine to me other than not having matching wheels yet.
BC Forged HC053, stock staggered sizes (19/20), gloss black / matte gunmetal, knurled rears, stock centercap sized, ceramic coated...still being assembled by PK..........I knew they would have a little concave look, but man those rear wheels look even better than I imagined!

I got my front wheels in and put them on. Weather is supposed to break this weekend but here are a few more with the matching 19x10 fronts. Lighting isn’t the best.

Yeah you can 100% tell the front wheels are bigger than the rear. It's blatantly obvious. As long as you're happy with it, that's all that matters.

Oh for sure I’m very happy. This isn’t the first time I have done this to a car. Turned out exactly how I wanted. Only thing I would have changed is having them done in black chrome. Anyone in the drag racing world is very familiar running a bigger diameter front wheel than the rear. Leaves more room for tire in the rear. I’m not going around turns fast I plan on dumping the clutch and hooking.

Looks awesome man.
And yes you're right people do big front/small rear all the time. Especially for drag racing.
But question though, do you leave this setup on all the time (or at least during warm months) or do you swap wheels back to street wheels after drag racing?
I was thinking of getting a dedicated "summer" rear wheel/DR tire setup. Then switching back to street for spring/fall.

Thanks. I’m going to leave them on all the time. I sold my factory wheels. I have only put 3200 miles on it in the 20 months I have owned the car. I just drive it in nice weather. I went with a 19x10 front so it handles and acts just like it did before. If you had a matching rear wheel that was smaller diameter you could just swap that rears when you want to hook.
