Smaller Wheel size in rear for AX/Track?

An unorthodox solution i've heard about on corvette and Porsche boards is to use a smaller wheel size in the rear. For instance using a 18x8 w/245 in front & 17x9 w/275's out back.

Upsides being reduced rotational weight, quicker acceleration, more sidewall profile to absorb bumps & give better breakaway feel.

Downside's: speedo out of whack! unknown if 17's will clear stock Z4MC brakes. Might not be legal for SCCA A Stock class.

Has anyone tried this for AX / track work?
