Question Staggered size wheels...

Are any of you guys running a stagged size wheel setup? I know several of you are running a 255/55/18 on 18x8 all the way around. That is what I am wanting to put up front and couple it with a 305/45/18 on a 18x10 out back. Just wondering how that combo would look and work out.

I had a 255/45 and 295/45 on 18x8 and 18x9.5 but, I have a 4/7 drop. I loved the Look, I now have 255/35 and 295/40 on 20x8.5 and 20x10. I think the 305/45 will be ok. The 295/45 really filled the gap well so, I think the 305 will look beefy!

This is something that I wanted to do but I didn't like the idea of not being abled to rotate the tires. I think it would look awesome. Did you decide on some wheels yet?

I do a ghetto rotation. I rotate them side to side.

Since I will be running drag radials in the back, I wouldn't be able to rotate them anyway.
I am seriously leaning towards the Bonspeed Malibu with the Intro Pentia6 comming in a real close second.
