Will a low disk design wheel work for the rears?

I have an opportunity to buy a set of 18" wheels that were made for a rwd car. Im wondering if you think it will work.

Front 18x8.5 (+37) High disk (large caliper clearance) (~1" lip)
Rear 18x8.5 (+31) Normal disk (average caliper clearance) (~2" lip)


Im pretty confident the fronts are fine, but im wondering do Evo require a high disk design for the rears? I plan on running 245's all the way around but the large lips in the back intrigue me. I think it would look pretty bad *** with a larger lip in the rears. The overall diameters would remain the same, i understand that i will not be able to rotate the tires which is fine. My main concern is rear caliper clearance. Will that be an issue? Thanks

Try a test fit if possible

Who makes the wheels and what are they coming off of.

I have different disk heights on my rig

I think it came off a 240sx. The car is in the shop, can anybody tell me how far the rear caliper sticks out? does it stick out past the hub of the rotor like the front caliper does?
