Sorry, before I habitually hijack this thread, I hope this link will help.

It looks like you can get 18's in there with the OEM fitting.

i know that you can put 245/60/15 all around they rub a little bit when you turn to hard
but i have 235/60/15 in front and 255/60/15 out back no problems
and that is on a 15x7 rim
and a friend of mine has 295/55/15 on the back of his with a 15x10 rim

It's a 86 LS with only 37,000 miles that had been setting in a garage for 10 years never started. I got it out and give it a little TLC and she runs great wished it had a V8 though...LOL
It will need a little more TLC as far as detailing but I havent totally gaind posestion yet .
Thanks to those of you who have commented so far IM looking to put atleast 18's on her

You should be able to get 18s under the car with no problems. 20s if you keep an eye on tire size.

That is one clean looking LS Monte. Wish it were mine.
