18" wheels on a Sport Package?

Has anyone done this? And no, I'm not talking about stock wheels either. I'm talking about 18x9.5(F) and 18x11(R) for less weight, i.e. less rotational mass. Just don't know if

Plenty of the track guys run square 18s, so they fit. Caliper clearance is going to vary from wheel to wheel.
