will these wheels fit with no problem

Im looking to buy some 17 X 8.5 (front) and 17 X 9.5 (rear). My question is would these wheels fit with little or no problem? Also I am considering putting 18 X 9.5 (rear). What are your opinons and would this work? 17s front 18s rear or should I stay with 17s all around?

IT REALY DEPENDS ON YOUR BACK SPACING. I AM RUNNING 18"X 10.5" 8" BACKSPACING CORVETTE C6 WHEELS ON MY 84. I HAD TO USE 2" SPACERS AND A BFH TO GET THEM TO FIT BUT THEY STUCK OUT THE SIDES ABOUT 1/2" AND WERE PUT IN A BIND WHEN I HAD SUSPENSION TRAVEL AND THE TIRES HIT THE LIP AND THE INSIDE OF THE WELL. I FINALLY STARTED DOING A MINI TUB THIS WEEK AND AM ALMOST FINISHED. I HAVE 40+ PICS FOR THE PASSANGER SIDE ALONE ON HOW TO DO IT IF PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO SEE. LET ME KNOW
