What kind of spider is this? It was WAY bigger then a common house spider or wolf spider, and has a really small head and really big body. And this was in my garage today, I live in the Chicago area.

A harmless orb-weaving spider; looks like something in the genus Neoscona - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoscona_crucifera
Thanks! That looks like it, my mine is bigger than the 0.75" the wikipedia page lists as the max length.
