Trying to decide on 16 or 18 wheels, since they don't make the wheel I want in 17s anymore. I have run 16s and have lots of pics of them, but really would like to see some with 18s to get a better idea of how they look in regards to wheel/sidewall proportions.

Brian,
I believe Jim (liquidh8) has 18's on his wagon. Perhaps you can confer with him about the specifics.

I have a set of 5th gen Camaro wheels. If you squint, this is what 18's will look like on your wagon. This is a 235/45/18, which is 0.2" taller than the original 195/75/14 that came on the car. BTW, the coupe is sitting on Hotchkis lowering springs.

Thanks for posting...I was looking at 245/40s, seem to be more choices at the less expensive end of the tire spectrum...any regrets on ride quality or fitment?

Jack and Brian, I actually have 17's on the wagon. 17x9 in the front, and 17x10.5 in the rear.

Ooops...sorry Jim, my bad...:doh: I think I'd prefer the 17" rims over anything larger.

One other member...I think from upstate NY put a set of 18"'s on his wagon.

Brian,
On Pg19 on the Wagon picture thread, there's a nice Pontiac Lemans/ Bonneville wagon with 18's on it...it looks killer, too. He goes by olishooter.

I know it's not a wagon but close enough - 18x8.5 on 87' Elky we just finished restoring for a customer.

liquidh8, how did you fit 10.5's in the rear? Are they offset just right? I have 18x9's for my rear wheels and got 255/35-18's which are pretty wide and the wheels alone are within 1/2 inch of the frame. Really don't want to run spacers if I can avoid them..
