Im debating still 17/18s, or 18/20s, but here is a pic for now, any suggestions?

Oh very cool! That is a neat body. Problem with 18s and 20s is finding tire sizes with equal aspect ratios to maintiain the same sidewall height around the front and rear wheels. In other words, lets say your running a 27" tire on a 20" wheel on the rear, 3.5" sidewall, you need to find a 25" tire foir the 18" front to maintain the 3.5" sidewall. If that gets screwed up and something like a say 26" tire is used on the 18" front, you get 4" sidewall and the front tire actally looks taller then the rear, and that looks like ass.

Finding a set of front and rear tires in 18 and 20 by the same manufacturer, is difficult. So find tires first, then worry about wheels.

We are happy to help.

We can help you with wheel and tire selection for your car. 18s and 20s would look KILLER on your car. Tire selection is key to getting the right stance. But fitting a 20 under your car is no problem. We have several combinations we run on customers cars with the 18s and 20s that will give your car that aggressive look and the side wall aspects are spot on.
We can offer you a wide selection of wheel brands at unbeatable prices.

Since that's a smaller car than a Chevelle or the like but you still want to give it that stuffed wheelwell look and want to stagger, consider 18s and 19s. Easier to match tires and proportions will look right.

18/19's as jay said. there arent as many choices for the 19's, but there are still tons. give jon at driverzinc a call. he'll hook you up.

I like the looks of these, but dont know it they would look right on it. I may have the wheel tubs split on it... still debating.
