Dave,
I think you should stick to your original plan. 18x10's and 17x8's.
There are alot of different tire sizes available for the 17" and 18" wheels nowadays. I'm sure you'll find the right tire with just the right amount of sidewall height to make it look proportional and still have a decent ride.
Heres a pic. of my friends 62 Impala. It has 18's on all 4 corners.

There is no sidewall on those tires.

I always loved the early impala and that one is gorgeous.

Gotta agree, I need a bit more side wall on the tires though.

Eventually I plan to run 275/40 on 17x9.5 and 315/35 on 17x11 on my car when I can afford to upgrade wheels again. They really look great on these cars, but that car above needs to be lowered a LOT to look right with them.

It's all about the stance. :)

If your referring to the Impala, it has Air ride on it. Thats as low as it goes.

As I said before, there are ALOT of tire choices available for the 17 and 18 in. wheels. You can have as much sidewall as you want.
Good luck in your decision Ms Grumpy. :cool:
