20" rims question

I just put a set of 20s on my 2003 Monte and have to say the ride took a big turn even getting some slight wheel shake in the front..I know something can be done? Some type of adjustments to maybe the suspension to make things better???

Wheel balance & Alignment ~>

Your Monte was not engineered for 20's, so
adjustments must be made to compensate for the difference.
The price one pays for larger wheels/tires
4-Sure.
Let us know what you do to correct your problems.
How many miles on your Monte ? Shocks/struts etc ?
A slight shake can end up causing many problems.
Find a good tire shop & get a estimate.
Many will check for `free.
Good Luck

Awesome!! That was my next step, i just replaced struts and springs on the back, and was waiting to do the alignment after i replaced the front, so im gonna go with that and see how it turns out. I just hit 100k on the milage but the car is in great shape. This forum is awesome, i just cant wait to be able to post some pics of the "DARK KNIGHT".

Yeah, did you get a high speed balance? I run 20inches without a problem...Well, aside for trying to avoid potholes...lol...

Are they cast or multi piece? I'm pretty sure cast....Sometimes, they can be very heavy and take a toll on the suspension...
