Who has 18x10.5 rears with 17x9 fronts
I am wanting to try this and was wondering if anyone has tried this combo? I am hoping to see some pics to see how much a difference the 1" makes in appearance. I know some Corvettes come with 20" rears and 18" fronts and the 2" makes quite a difference.

Why would you do that? Bigger brakes are in the front. It will look weird, IMO...

same here on my Cobra in sig.
17X10.5 rear 17x9 front.
To me 18" look gooffy with too much rim.
@ OP BTW..Corvettes (C5) are 18 rear and 17 front I know that for sure.
My good friend has a 98 Corvette with this combo from factory.
I know on my C4 it 17" all around but rears are 285 -40 s and fronts are 255-45
