Default ZO6 wheels on a camaro

I just picked up a 98 Camaro that has some black ZO6 wheels already on it.....However it has the 17's and 18's...I was wondering has anybody ever put the 18's all the way around...do they rub anywhere? or should I just buy the 17's to go on back...I am really not a fan of the 17/18's on the car now...I want the same size all the way around....

A lot of people run 18s all around. 18x9.5 up front with a 275 wide tire will fit perfect.

I prefer the look of the 17's over the 18's but guess its up too you. 17's with the 275/40/17 tires just look right to me.

Thanks guys....Think I am gonna go with some 18's up front... Is there anybody that has some 18's that they want to trade some 17's for?....Here is a pic of the wheels....Just thought I would ask....




And if anybody is interested the 17's are perfect...Brand new tires and no curb rash....the pic above is of one of the 18's that had a little curb rash...
