Default 22x9.5

What would be the best way to go with putting 22X9.5 35mm offset rims on a 2002 monte carlo without them rubbing. The rims are already too wide so I wanna see what some of you ppl did to prevent that and tell me the cheapest and most effective OR the expensive most effective way

I don't think 9.5 inchers are going to fit no matter what you do.

Lift and fender rolls may work? But it's way too much work IMO.

I went to a shop and they said they can put something called pucks on there and tht should do tht trick but they told me straight up tht it would ride like ****t because my struts wouldn't have any give anymore because they are stretched almost to the max. Should I just get new struts and if so what kind?

those are pretty wide I had 22x8.5 if you really wanna get those on your car i suggest lift for clearance but it ain't gonna be cheap.

If you had a truck that would be easy. They make lift kits for trucks. You sure you want to do that to a 2002?

I had 22x9.5 on my 02 Imp. Just go get some of those metal spring spacers (i bought 8 of em, 2 per spring) and run 245-30-22 and you will be fine. No Cut No Rub
