Will 18x9.5 rims fit with out modification

I am thinking about buying C5 rims with 17x8.5" up front and 18x9.5 out back. My question is will the 18x9.5 rim fit with out banging out the fender well or will i have to bang it out. also does any one have a pic of 1996 camaro with C5 17" in the front and 18" in the back. Also is their any disadvantages to having two differnt rim sizes.

thanks

disadvantages: cant rotate tires, and if you get directional tires, you wont even be able to rotate side to side.

i have 18x9.5's all around. Looks good. you should do the same

my tires and wheels cant be rotated at all. they are directional and the front tires are wider then the back. but they are the same size wheels 10 inch. but the way i look at it is if you keep the properly inflated and your camber and alignment is right then why should yo uhave to rotate. i havent had to.
