I don't keep up with this section of the forum much.... so I'm not up-to-date on exactly what will go on what.. but 20" rims and too tall of a tire might rub the front fenders on turns. When I did keep up with this section, it was agreed that on this car, too much more than about 18-19" would make the car more unstable. I think 18" with some nice tires will be better aesthetically (unless big rims are you rthing, personally I think too much more than this is overkill), handling, and price.... perfect size in my opinion for this car. But rims are all about personal preference...

20's will fit with the right size tire and obviously look better on the car(to me). 18's are fine to(they would look better if you lowered your car). go with what size looks better and is in your price range

im runnin 18s and i think they look small on this car. like on a civic they might look big but they dont on a monte. i think 20s look good but the extra weight isnt worth it to me.

the bigger the rims the better they look. you could go up to 22 with no rub. just remember the bigger the rims, the more they way, the more tranny problems, and rougher ride you will have.

plus you will have to get your speedometer corrected, or you will think your going slow, catch a speeding ticket, and put less miles on the odometer. lol

plus you have to do this twice a year.

i want rims but have to wait till next year unless i buy used.
