i know it would be a little odd to run 17 in the rear and 18 in the front, but for drag strip use, a lot of people do it so they get a better launch. I also know about the risk of running a rear bias ply tire and a front radial tire, but drag racing is already full of risks.
I am truly not sure if you can use a 17x9.0 on the rear. I don't think they would clear the calipers.

Thank you for the honest feedback. I haven't ruled out this option but obviously further investigation is necessary.
