I've seen it, no picts though. I plan on doing it with my 03 Cobra rims. I think it'll look awesome.

Actually, here's one.

I've seen it on Vette's, but personally I think I'll stick with the same diameter wheel all the way around. If you go with the same size rims and tires, then you've got the ability to rotate them. Not to mention that if I wanted any of my wheels to be lower profiled, I wouldn't want them to be in the back. It's already hard enough hooking up an overpowered RWD V8 car as it is. And that shorter side wall in the back is going to make it that much harder still.

….to each his own though. :shrug:
 
I can't remember where it was from, but I saw a pic of 17" in front and 18" in back and I didn't like it. There was a noticable difference in the amount of tire on the wheels and it looked odd. The rim difference was fine, it was the lower profile in the rear that made it look like high profile truck tires on the front.
 
speaking of exhaust tips, i think a lot of people see that nasty black gunk buildup on the factory exhaust tips and think its permanent, i took some metal polish and cleaned the crap out of mine and ive had a couple of people think they were aftermarket tips...they look great
