I was thinking of trying the same with Carrera III's. I have 18" all around, but there is a 19x11" C3 that I could fit in the rear.

Good one, Matt, but the ultimate torment for me is this pic:

19s all the way around:







18s front/19s rear:







On ~10 mile test drive there were no ABS issues with 18/19 setup.

Chuck, I know the offset is not ideal on the front, but I'd stick with the 19s all around, that looks great!

Thank you all for the information and concurrence, and also the pic’s of the 18/19” combos look really great not at all discernable.

I have all winter now for my search as MDOT has started salting our roads, I won’t take her out again until the spring rains wash it all away.

I think any GT or GTS 5 speed would benefit from a bigger rear wheel to offset the short 2.73 gearing. If the abs doesn't go crazy.
