I inquired yesterday about how wide of a wheel combo would fit on a stock 1986 Chevy Monte Carlo LS. I am trying to avoid tubbing the vehicle at this point or narrowing the rear end, and am not sure how one would measure it anyway.

If anyone please can help me with this question, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Welcome to the forum! I have no idea... I am sure that one of our more experienced members will be able to help you pretty soon.

 

Thank you for the welcome! I will be uploading pics of my Monte Carlo very soon. Its neat that there is a forum just for Monte Carlo guys.

Have a good one.

 

.........and girls! Welcome!

 

From my memory I beileve that you should be able to squeeze a 8.5" maybe a 9" wheel with the right back spacing and a 275 tire should fit nicely. I will have to go back and look because I haven't worked on my '78 since last fall.

My mistake for not including the girls! Thanks for the welcome. And thanks for the answer to a question that I have been searching for a while now. I think an 8.5 or 9.0 inch will look great. Now I just have to choose from the millions of wheels!
