Hey Wayne

I found this chart very handy when wheel shopping:

They are MSR Style 138 in 17x7.5, 42mm offset.  Picked them up brand new in box, cheap off craigslist :)  I should warn you though, in this size the fronts rub when at full steering lockunless you have a brake upgrade or wheel spacers that push the wheels outwards.  Otherwise 7inch x 42mm or 7.5inch x 38mm offset would work for example.

If you want to see more pics let me know, i have tonnes on my computer at home.

How much were you looking to spend on a set of 18" rims and tires? And what color is your car? I have 18" black rims, with nearly brand new rubber (More than 90% tread left) although I've kinda develloped a soft spot for the original rims. If you're interested, feel free to PM me. I live in New West if you'd like to come out and inspect their quality, make sure there's no scratches, etc...
Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.
