Not all 18s are created equally - but I don't think caliper clearance is an issue on a 1990 model year anyway. The 17s from a GS (assuming 2nd gen GS)don't clear big brakes so you're main concern will be offset spacing to make sure they look right when on the car.

prettymuch everything clears 90-94 LS brakes. just make sure you dont get some weak offset wheels...

No problem with clearance. Currently running 18X8.5 but I have a conservative +40 offset. Looking to change that soon. LOL!!!
