18X7.5 With 245/40/18 Wheels?

Would these look nice on a 91 Camaro and/or would it fit without a problem?

That setup you have will work.
My GTA has 18x8.5 rims with a 235/40/18.

Axe the whole 7.5 width and at least go to an 8. I had some 17x7.5 and they look stupid from the back! You have this wide a$$ car and then you get behind it and there are these skinny looking tires! I loved the wheels I had on there but it bugged the crap out of me so I switched to 17x9.5's!


Those were the wheels I used to have on it in the picture

ya go at least 8's if not 9's. Id like to go 18X9 all around when i do my car but due to the rims im choosing to go with i may be forced to go with 18X10 out back and 18X8 up front. 18X10's out back will look awesome.

not the right tire choice....

8's are great for the front but at least a 9-10 rear will look killer. that is if your lowering the car. if not go 9-9.5 all around.
