Default Wheel Sizes

Im going to be replacing my 99 vert. wagon wheels with crome Z6 style wheels soon.

I want to keep my original stock wheel sizes as I have new tires on. What is the correct stock wheel sizes?

Front 17x8.5 or 17x9.5
Rear 18x9.5 or 18x10.5

My tires sizes are front 245/45-17, & rear 275/40-18.

Thanks.

Yoggi: If it helps, I wanted to keep Goodyear EMTs when I purchased custom wheels for my 2000 coupe so I went to their website and it will tell you the range of wheel sizes their EMTs will fit. My new wheels are wider than stock but still take the EMTs. Seemed to improve both grip and ride.
