Default Help, looking to upgrade wheels

I was thinking of going with the new Z07 wheels and going 18 in the front and 19 in the back.

I have seen a lot of guys go 18 all around. I plan to use a wider tire on the back so rotating them is not an option. What other reasons would you need to go 18 all around?

Thanks

Keeping unsprung weight down and saving money on tires. 19s are going to be heavier than the 18s (same brand and style) and normally 19" tires are going to be more expensive than the 18" ones.
