Default C5 stock rims swap 18"on front 17" on rear?

This might sound weird but stay with me lol - Has anyone ever swapped their front 17" rims and put them on the back with a thicker or taller drag radial? Alot of NMCA racers run 17's in front and 15" in rear with monster tires and it doesn't look out of place at all...... just wondering.

The only thing i can see that sucks with this idea is the 17" rims would be narrower than the 18's and thats pretty gay....

Let me know if i should go play in traffic for bringing this up lol

they may run 15s in the rear, but they are probably 11-12 inches wide... not 9.5...
