2002 Monte Carlo LS Rims

I'm looking to get new rims and tires on my monte. What sizes would you guys recomend? Im thinking about maybe some 19 inch rims. And at what size will they start to affect performance? Thanks guys!

Do they look too small for the car? What size are the tires?

19s are a tough size to get. They look good, but the tire choices get limited.

I run an 18 and a 245/45 tire

I would have to agree chibi. Those do look nice! Did you have to make any modification for rubbing? Or did they go rigjt in?
