Default C5 with 17" on rear

What is the disadvantage with 17" wheels on all fours on a C5 Vette? Can I still
use 245's on the front and 275's on the rear?
Thanks for the help.

I do it. If you look close, you can tell the rear rim is smaller. The look is getting old for me but I have too much tire left to get rid of them. I also have a set (4) of 18's for track use.

I use 17"s on rear at the track. As far as the look, just buy a taller set of 17's.
