Default 18" On My 2003

Will the 18" wheels from a new Monte Carlo fit on my 2003 that just came with 16" wheels?

5x115 all around. You bet it will... Search a bit. And welcome!

If you're close to Northwest Indiana (near Chicago) I might be interested in selling mine.

I just put these rims on my 02 ls and love them. The rims fit no problems.. the tires are what you have to worry about. I got 235/50/18 tires and they ended up rubbing on the rear strut mounts. Wheel spacers will fix this or, a different tire will 235/45/18 tires should fix the problem.

I bought the rims off ebay for 400 plus 115 shipping. This was the absolute cheapest
I could find them. Ive seen them sold from 500-600..which is still a great deal

Thanks for the replies. Good hear these will fit. I will be needing new tires soon so I hope to buy the 18" wheels. Chrome preferably.

I bought my 18inch SS wheels off ebay for 500 plus 75 for shipping, like Ryan said still a great deal. In the next couple of weeks they'll be on the Mnote, just gotta find a decent deal on tires.
Hey Ryan, your monte looks sweet with those 18's bro.

Default appreciated

I'm also in the market for new rims and tires for my 03' SS. Really have no idea what would look best on my car (white). Any suggestions or thoughts would be appreciated, Thanks.
