Just curious.. I was reading that a 17'' wheel will, so I would almost assume any 18'' wheel would/. Thanks

I've read that they have a 14" rotor on the rear just like the front, so you might not be able to run a 17" wheel at all.
Of course that all depends on the wheel design. Some 17" wheels might work but I know a full size spare will rub on the front brake caliper. I never tried it on the rear.
Take the Boss 330's for example and the C6 ZO6 brakes. You can't run a 22" Boss 330 on the front and clear the calipers without running a spacer due to wheel design. But you can run 20" wheels with those brakes. It all depends on the wheel design.
If that makes any sense.
