Jennifer those wheels you described will fit fine. What you need to take into account though is if you want to do a big brake up-grade down the track and not want to have to go looking again for wheels that will fit with the brakes. If you don't then what you are looking at is fine as I am currently running 17x7.5 front and 17x8.5 rear wheels with no worries at all.

I bought my wheels and then MADE them fit ^^

18x10 +26 fits at the front with only rolled guards

18x10 +13 rear had to be rolled and pulled

Just so you have an idea with what Matt is saying, my +13 rears run -5.3 deg camber to get the top flush with the guard, making the bottom of the wheel sick out like crazy :-)

Which is a really, really dangerous and silly thing to do, not to mention looking totally retarded.

My tyres are going great! When are you going to slam your V8 daddy? :-) A good toe and caster alignment (not camber obviously) works a treat! Approx 3k on them and hardly even worn.
My coilovers are are still going strong :-)

Got it done at Bob Janes in Bankstown! They had a little trouble getting the car onto the lift but they did an awesome alignment once it got on there. I recommend them :-)
