but would a 17 front 18 back combo look a little off? And make it look shackeled up in the back?

Go with what you want. Tires for 18s are more expensive, they're heavier, and if you go 17/18 you won't be able to rotate your tires so your gonna be spending more on rubber.

I'm not really understanding your reasoning here. A z28 would have less of a problem with 18s then a 6 would.Black \'94 Trans Am A4- SLP CAI & Loudmouth<br />Red \'93 Firebird A4- Ram Air under the WS6 hood, !cat, exhaust.

If you go 18's just get better gears. There's a formula somewhere that calculates the effective gear ratio depending on the size of your wheels. So for example, if you have 3.23's right now, and if you got the 18in wheels, it may lower your effective ratio to 3.08 or something. So then you'd install 3.73 or 4.10 gears to make up the difference. Of course it won't help with the weight, but it sure would make it less noticeable. That's what I would do.2002 Silver Firebird A4<br />T-Tops, Leather, Y87, W68, Chrome Wheels<br />Bone Stock

Just get the 17s. They look great, are lighter, and wont slow you down as much.
Statics Lesson: Moment of Inertia.
A 40 pound weight rotating around a circle with an 17 inch diameter will be easier to turn than a 40 pound weight rotating around a circle with an 18 inch diameter. Because the weight is further from the center for an 18 inch wheel, even if it weighs the same, it still requires more force to turn it.
Sorry, I'll try to never do that again.
Anyways, all that, and 18s will prolly cost you more on for the wheel and more for the shipping per wheel.
Anywho, here's a couple pics of my 17x9.5s:
