Would this be a bad idea?

17x10+18 front and 18x10.5+15 rear????
Some stock wheels come with 18 front and 19 rear, so why not do the above? I have had the RPF1's before win 18's all around and I have had 17" FN01RC's. So why not mix it up? Would it look stupid? What tire size would I go with? 285/35 or 295/35 rear is a must, but what about the front?
Reason I ask... Just picked up a pair of 18x10.5+15 at a decent deal in silver. But... the 9.5+15's are backordered for forever it seems. No one has them that I have called.

I think running 2 different light weight wheels on the street says:
a) I drift to the store and back
or
b) I can't afford 4 of the same wheel
Not that I don't think you can afford them but it seems like a setup you would normally see on a boi racer S13 or a track car.

275/40-17 would be the proper front tire

Davidv - I know it will work just fine. More worried about it looking retarded with a slightly larger sidewall in the front than rear. But I think I found some 18's for the front too. They were backordered till Dec something and im just being impatient, but I think I found some.

check out the weight saving on just rims
then
check out the money saving on just tires
then go out and buy a set!
If I was stateside I'd be snacking up a used set of rpf1s in seconds...
