Default Any issues with running 18x9.5 rears with 18x10.5 fronts for a wet setup?

I've got 2 C5 wagon wheel rears sitting here 18x9.5 but they won't fit over my Wilwood brakes in the front, but they fit the rear fine. I'm trying to scrape up a set of wheels to keep a set of wet track tires on. Because of the brakes up front it looks like I need a Z06 rear to get the proper offset. Any issues with running a 9.5" rear wheel and a 10.5" front wheel other than being politically incorrect? I'll be running a square setup same size tires all around.

I know I could get longer studs and use an offset but it's gonna be like 20mm or .8" and that's pretty damn big.

Nevermind, Bob at House of Wheels hooked me up with a set of ZR1 18x9.5 fronts to match my C5 rears. Thanks again Bob.
