What is the biggest rims i can fit on a 2001 mc SS without pounding out the wheel wells or anything like that.
Im loking at some 18's...would they fit?
Thanks

 

18 would be perfect. i got 17 and im kicking my *** for not going up one inch for another 15 bucks per wheel!

 

i think 20's are a perfect fit on our cars. and im not just saying that because thats what i have, im saying that because it just looks like they were ment for the car. the size fits perfect, 22's are starting to get too big where they are almost starting to look funny. but thats just my 2cents.

 

18's are perfect fit for not having to do any custiomization (rolling fenders, etc.), 20's are the perfect fit size wise as far as filling up the wheel wells and not being too big or small, 22's are the perfect size if you want to go big or go home. I've heard people with 20's have some rubbing issues (not all, but alot) and 22's you for sure have to roll fenders at least.

 

Yeah, you could probably put some 22's on there, but the tires would be like rubber bands. Even then you might have some rubbing issues.

 

i dont have any rubbing issues with rubbing, the only way i could see it rubbing, is if your shocks are going out, or you have alot of weight in the truck, or you get alot of weight in the back seat. lol

 

20's are no problem, and 22's will fit if you're careful in the proper fitment. Anything bigger and forget it.
I wish I had bought 20's instead of the 18's.

 

I don't really like anything larger than 18's on Montes. They get too gaudy after that. There are a few exceptions though with 20" rims but I've never EVER seen a set of 21"+ rims that I've liked on these cars. Plus when you get that big you're hurting performance.

 

the one's I like are the guys who put 26's but keep their stock brakes!

 

20's are probably your best bet if you don't want to have the biggest rims possible and not have to make any alterations. You'll have to make some minor adjustments to fit 22's on because of them touching the struts, but 20's should go on with no problem.
