larger wheels on rear?

A good friend of mine is a ol'school ricer and now he manages a local tire shop and when discussing what kind of wheels to put on my S, he keeps suggesting putting "18's on the rear and "17's on the front. Has anybody seen this, done this, or whats ya'lls take on this situation? Is it a ludicris idea, or legit?

If it's keepin' the same O.D. rick n' changin' nothin' else, I don't see what possible improvement could be had. Less flex from the shorter sidewallz?
If it's supposed to be for performance, I don't see it.

I know for a FACT that the last year of production of the S2000 is 2003!!!!!
After that, it will be the S2200 under an assumed name.
