Is it possible to do a 19x8.5 and 20x9.5 on a 530 without any problems? Would there be any downsides? Can't rotate wheels with the regular staggered setup anyway.

It is possible, but not recommended. You can not rotate staggered set up.

It's going to look like this.

Yes it is possible, but why would you want 19s front and 20s rear?

It's funny how hard it is for people to think out of the box.

As long as your outside diameters of the tires are within reason, there should be not problem. The big little gives the car a more forward look.

Hopefully it will give less bent rims as well.

its not hard to think outside of the box but try mastering whats inside it first

just because its new doesnt mean it looks good or a good idea
