I would suggest a different kind of machine for 18". I had to disassemble the bead breaker part of the machine to mount the new tires. I also had to break the bead on each side, by flipping the wheels over. not worth the trouble..when a friend has a rim clamp machine. That answers my question, thanks!

With todays wheels and newer vehicles, you almost have to have a rim clamp style. 68 Road Runner, 69 Belvedere, 71 Challenger Vert 340 barracuda, 01 Ram CTD, 95 Ram, 04 Ram, 85 Daytona turbo Z 66 GTO, 06 Magnum RT AWD. 07 Ram CTD, 07 Ram
