New Rim question...19x8.5(front) and 19x9.5(rear)

So I want to get a set of Ruff Racing 281 chrome 19" rims, but I'm not sure if i want all four to be the same (8.5) or the front be 19x8.5 and the rear be 19x9.5.

obviously i won't be able to rotate my tires because they will be different sizes. so my question is...is it worth getting the rear at 19x9.5 for the more aggressive look but paying for a new set of tires? or will the 19.8.5 all around look aggressive? (oh, and how long do tires typically last if i'm not doing crazy sh*t?)

Its worth it, ( you only have to change 2 tires at a time ) , yes you can rotate (L to R).
Tires will last as long as you don't do burn out all the time. No you're not crazy at all.
Lastly, stagger looks way better than skinny rims in the rear makes you look like 1st generation Lincoln Navigator.

Honestly, Who cares about rotations...blah blah... unless you planning to keep this car over 5yrs.... just my 2 c.

yeah who cares about rotations. i have the 281's in 20's and i'm fine with it. i think it looks nice but i think they look like 18's though.
