Default 18 in wheels Question???

Anybody who is running front 18x9.5 and rear 18x11 ? Is there any problems or things that need to be taken into consideration when installing on 98up Camaros? In other words is there any Cons to this setup say if your running 275/40 and 295/35 tires?
Thanx any comments help.

Who makes a 18x11 rim? At American Racing I tried to get TT2's and they would only go to 18x10.

Depending on the offset, which typically is around 56mm (if you can get less than 56mm GREAT) you may have to do some minor inner wheel well massaging with a big hammer, and then undercoat, other than that you'll be just fine. May need an adjustable panhard too.
