Default 17" front , 18" rears?

I was just wondering if there are any pros and cons of running 17" wheel in the front and a 18" wheels in the rear.

I'm looking at 17"s but the only reason I would want 18"s are because I think the rear looks better with the 18"s. So I was thinking 17" front 18" rears but if its going to upset the cars handling and balance the I'll throw that thought out the window.

Thanks

I'm running a 17/18 combo and it works just fine. I auto-x once in a while and I've never had any handling gremlins. And, with the extra sidewall, my car can take the bumps a lot better than cars with 18s up front.

Does anyone have any pics of an S2000 with the 17/18 combo. Thanks
