plz dont.
Like an SUV lol. I would not go that big, but in all serious, I seen some, and you will have to widen or roll you fenders and lift the car for them to fit, good luck tho!
Why would you want to put 22s or 24s on your car? Bigger tires increase your final drive train ratio, decrease your MPG, kill your topend, and severly limit your handling capabilities?
Want something that will make you go faster, increase your MPG, and dramatically improve your handling, go to 15 or 16s and lower your car.

Lol, our Montes have a LOT more potential then 13's in the 1/4 mile. There are a number of Montes that have run 11 and 12 seconds 1/4's.
To each their own, but I would never buy rims for my Monte that are bigger then 18's. After that, you lose performance (which is a BIG deal to me), lose mileage, and you lose reliability. If you like it though, do it and have fun. It's your car.

have u ever had 22's or bigger on any of your cars? i have 22's on my 04' ss and it handles great and drives great with NO RUBBING, mph is only 3mph off, and its a 3.8 so if you want good top end,take off or anything to do with racing you need to get a rwd or awd car and build it cuz even the LS fwd montes are only at best 13 or 14 sec cars in the quarter. 22's are a good way to go, anything else the tires look to big on the car. 24's you have to do alot of changing to the suspension and if you drive it in the winter you will be sitting higher than stock hight and it will look stupid, not to mention a lil cutting that needs to be done to the front bumper...which in my opinion kills the re-sale value drastically. either way it looks great. its your car do what you want to it, nobody else opinion matters, period.
the weight of the rims for performance is more of a problem than the size. although with bigger size you get more weight you get generally. if you're going for performance, stick to light and smaller rims
