18" wheels will make the ride much less forgiving than standard. If it is the jaring you feel when driving along what the local authorities laughingly call roads that is making your wife sick then the wheels are to blame. However if once you have hit a pot hole the car body continues to bounce up and down then your shock absorbers need replacement.

the chances are that you have messed up the wheel.
