18x7.5 front and 18x8.5 back

I need your guys help. I have an Acura RSX 2002 Type S. I'm going to the shop to pick up the Sebring ITC's. The only package the shop has is 18x7.5 front and 18x8.5 back. I need to wait a month or two for 18x7.5 back. Can you guys tell me anyting negative with this setup except from not being able to rotate the tires? Also the shop promised no scraping and the tires will not stick out.

Here is a picture of the rim

Besides not being able to rotate your tires, but having the wider wheel in the rear would create more oversteer. And why would you want such a large wheel/tire setup? It's going to make your car feel sluggish, and not only that 18s are expensive, heavy, and will look funny on a non-lowered ride.

I'm dropping the car with Tein SS. Leaving no space between the tire and the fender.

Kids gotta make their own mistakes, as I have. Believe me, I too thought that if my wheel size was less than 17 inches than my dick would shrink. I will be getting rota 16s soon.

You guys are right. I had a funny feeling about it also. But I found some other rims which I think look better for the same price that I can get 18x7.5 all around. Versus Campionato SS7 by Rays.
