People do it all the time. The rim size is really the question though. Its what size tire your going to put on it.

I agree that the tire size matters. 18's out back and 17's up front looks fine if the rear wheels and tires are wider than the fronts. If they are the same size, just taller, then it looks kinda goofy.

Im not the biggest fan of it, but yes the tire size on the rims in back will really determine the overall look. Do what you like.

Re: bigger wheels in the rear
I used to run the staggered IROC's (18/20). They looked good....but it's very true that it looked kind of funny because the rear 20's were only 8 inches wide...same as the 18's up front. Now I'm running 19X8 up front and 20X10 in the back...which looks much better.
