Yup, depending on the offset, tires sizes, and also how low you are.

I watched a discussion recently on staggered fitaments. Staggered width is A-OK on our quattro system, but any variance in diameter is a problem. I'm not talking inches either. Audi says none whatsoever, subaru say no more than 1/2". So I'd pick a tire size for the rears and keep the same size up front. Even stretching can change the OD of a wheel/tire setup.
