I am thinking about putting a set of ZO6 tires and rims on my 1996. Fronts:9.5x17, Rears:10.5x18, with Goodyear Eagles, P265/40zr-17 for the front and P295/35zr-18 for the rear. Am I doing myself something good or am I asking for problems. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
 
I have Z06 rears, 18x10.5 all the way around. No rubbing in the front. A little rubbing on the inner fender liner on the rear (only on really BIG bumps).

I'm not sure how much difference, between the front tire diameter and the rear tire diameter, the ABS controller can handle. The tire sizes you listed have about 0.75" difference in diameter.
