Default 22s on a Monte fit it just right!check mine out!

im running 235/35/R22 and the ride is not bad at all, its actually pretty smooth. I wont lie, it does rub but the car has quite a bit of miles on it and the back end did sag a little before the rims so im thinking its maybe because a strut or shock needs to be replaced. The previous owner of the rims had then on a 2003 monte ss with the high sport package and, according to him, it didnt rub.

What do you think?any negative comments arent welcome -____-

Nothing negative??? They look nice

Just remember that your spare tire is now probably pointless. And with such little tire you risk bending a rim. Just be careful of potholes and enjoy the new look

If they rub i would change them because it will only lead to more problems down the road. It seems like 20's are about the biggest you can go on these cars without any problems. The black rims look nice with the silver tho

...I like them They look great on your Monte 4-Sure.
Sometimes we have to gamble & take risks to get the right look I think you made a sweet choice...
Wish you Good Luck & many safe/happy miles in your Monte with 22's ~> WoW

I like the look, I am not really a fan of anything bigger then 19's. But it sucks that it rubs.

Glad to see they fit, but I'm still not a big fan of anything that huge. They look nice though.
