HEy Doug, from what I heard, you are wanting to use the 17"x8.5" wheels up front, & the 18"x9.5" wheels out back. You'd end up using tires that aren't the same diameter front to rear. Unless I'm mistaken, that will cause problems with the ABS.
I'm sure an f-body owner here will know for sure.

at right about 10% tire circumference difference. Below

so if the tires = out to the same circumfrance the ABS will work fine?

if you run 17 and 18,you'll probably want to go with what the vettes use.295/35/18 rear and 265or275/40/17 front.you should be able to fit a 295 on a 9.5 wheel.i use to run 285s on a 17x9 wheel.
