Who says you can't fit 9.5" wheels up front and 11" wheels in the rear.

I'm not going to instigate anything

but yes - 'paper-racing' is barely in favor of the EVO (stock for stock of course)

I'd rather be inside the box

Rear wheels are 11". So what? Tires are 255-35-18. That thing is not going to corner any better than a good 235-40-18 tire. And well, the look of the stretched sidewall... Given enough heat and side load the tire is not going to hold its bead.

But then wider rear tires would hurt you. More understeer.

Agreed. Stock width is more than sufficient.

Negative. I raced one about 2 weeks ago on I-80; was a neck and neck race for almost 2 miles.

I finally pulled ahead at the high point of 4th gear. If the race had been from a dead stand still, I am pretty sure he would have gotten the jump on me; but from a run-on, it was a dead heat most of the way.
