Yeah, I like that too. The problem is getting the tire Height front to back to look symmetrical to each other.

I would do 18's all the way around. especially if you want to skip that irs bolt headache.

but if you do 17's all the way around with 10.5 outback, you can either A) Grind Stock Bolt or B) Purchase Aftermarket IRS Bolt [rounded head], and if you still don't clear, I would get some spacers.

Be carefull going large variances between front and rear diameter tires, as you will cause issues with your drivabilty. Your ABS brakes can kick-in too easily if it measures great differences between rotational speeds. It is OK to go larger/smaller all-around, but be carefull going staggered diameter. I actally posted a question on this very subject a while back ***HERE***.
