Default Wheels help

Hi all
I'm looking to get wheels for my 98 Z28, Was sure i was gonna get 17" ZR-1's
But now thinking about C5 Replica wheels, They have them at OEW in Matte Black, which look great, The fronts are 17x9.5 and the rears 18x10.5. I'm just wondering why aren't they 18" all around? and does this affect the handling being different sizes?
Thanks

Do you know it 18s would fit without any modifications or spacers?
