Default 18x 8 onto a classic wagon

I've gotten myself a set of 18x8 et30 rims im thinking of trying to fit them to my classic wagon
What issues is this going to potentially give me? Wheels too far out? Too wide?
What's my best move to make them work?

Thanks

They will be way to far past the arch/wing line fella I'm afraid.
Most go for that sort of ET with the ABW extensions.

I have a set of arch extensions there! But not planning on fitting for a while due to money shortages at the min....
Might just have to wait till I fit the arch extensions and then fit the wheels!!!!
Or sell the wheels on lol

Hang onto them and fit with the arch's mate,not hurting you sat in the garage.
Sell them on if you require some money though

Cheers man.....
I know its a big offset but with arches on I think they will look savage!!!!
I'll see what I can do about just getting coilovers fitted (been too lazy recently) and then test fit the wheels anyway!!!! I want to see if there is any possible way I "might" get away with them lol

If not I'll put other plans on hold and probably just have the arches fitted asap
Being only 8 inch wide I might have a chance!!! I was nearly getting something wider instead haha

You probably will get away without coilovers given them being 8" wide.
