im really liking the 14s haha! i am going to start hunting for some caps which i think will help with the look i want.

I have the caps you are looking for

Yeah dont go 18. They are huge. If you want more of a modern look then a 17 is a great fit. If you want more of the older style look then a 16 is the way to go.

Wheel Update 6-7-14

18's are way to big for these wagons imho. 15 or 16s seem to be the perfect fit.

if you arent on turbobricks.com....you should be

I disagree as it depends on what year wagon. The 240s had subtle style evolutions throughout its life. This is a late model 245 and IMO can easily pull off a 17" wheel, possibly an 18"(depending on whee). 1979 and older should 15-16", but certain larger wheels could be pulled off like (see Keith's 122). I'm running 17x8 and 17x10 on my 1981 242.

Thanks guys! Ill check out turbobricks too =)

What he said ^^. 16's if you have dish, 17's if you don't. Looking forward to progress! 18's will probably mess with the speedo pretty significantly. you can fit 17's without any issues as long as they aren't too wide.
