20'S ARE THE WAY TO GO, 22'S WILL ALSO STRESS YOUR BRAKES OUT TOO, I HAVE 20X7.5 I KEPT EVERYTHING THE SAME AS A STOCK WHEEL EXCEPT I WENT TALLER BY 3. MyTIRE PROFILE IS 35 BECAUSE THEY ARE A Z RATED TIRETHE WIDTH IN MY TIRE AND WHEEL ARE THE SAME AS THE STOCK 17'S. IF YOU WANT A NICE DISH GO 20X8.5 AND JUST MAKE SURE YOUR WHEEL OFFSET IS CORRECT TO YOUR VEHICLE. 20'S ARE GREAT FOR PERFORMANCE AND THEY LOOK GREAT. DISCOUNTWHEELWAREHOUSE.COM IS WHERE I GOT MY WHEELS, CALL BEFORE YOU ORDER THEIR STAFF OVER THE PHONE MAKES SURE YOUR OFFSET WILL BE CORRECT AND THEY CAN TELL YOU WHAT WILL FIT PERFECTLY AND THEY CAME MOUNTED ALL I HAD TO DO WAS HAVE DISCOUNT TIRE PUT THE WHEELS ON THE CAR BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE A GOOD JACK FOR THE JOB.

X2. You get get away with up to 18's. After that you look into unnecessary wear. The 20's and 22's will probably drop you tire life by around 20,000 miles.

 

Actually the 20's offer worse performance. Most noticably is in acceleration. The 20's weigh more and therefore have more rotating mass and it is harder for the engine to spin them. They also effect handling unless you modify the suspention.

But they do look great!!!

 

so i got 22s and i did notice a difference in the accleration.. but if i add an K&n intake and a magnaflow exhaust system would i get all of the power back or at least some of it??

 

Your 22's on your monte look good. I bet you are way happier that you went with the 22's instead of the 20's

 

yes... you'll gain a lot back. im not sure how much the 22's are robbing you of, but, you should be back to at least around stock performance.

 

so 22s wont go right on then i just got a 04 monte ss

 

hey so you went with 22s did you have to lift it at all

 

no i didnt lift my at all!1 the thing to do is make sure get the right offset and right size tire 235/20/22 is what i have

 

Can you tell me what kind of tire that is, never heard of it.
